I can reproduce this.  However, you have diagnosed it slightly wrong.
There is indeed a bug here where the account is being set annoyingly to
the wrong thing.  (In your example, it switches to "Liabilities:joe"
even though that's not what you want.)

So at that point you have a transaction which is making two entries to
Liabilities:joe and one to Exp:Med.  This shows up twice in the account
ledger for Lia:joe, but *not* because there are two transations.  There
is only one transaction, which is responsible for two separate entries.

Accordingly, when you delete the transaction, you are deleting *the
whole transaction* and so of course both entries go away.  This is
correct behavior.

What you should do, instead, is go into the transaction, and change the
account to what you want it to on the erroneous split.  I use the
pull-down menu, and there is no difficulty.  If you do that and then hit
enter to accept the transaction, you'll see that it now shows up in
Lia:joe only once, because now there is only one split in the
transaction for that account.

So this is certainly annoying, but it doesn't impede actual
functionality.  Accordingly, I'm marking it with lower severity.
