In section 4.5.4 Complete control over commodity pricing of the manual, the results of output:814A366 is wrong.
Running the ledger entries instead gives:

It seems you added the two automated transactions just before input:814A366, but I don't think they are part of 814A366.

Please double check. I think this is user error

Correct. The two automated transactions are part of the section's commodity pricing examples and should be included in the example. They are part of the section's subject and should be demonstrated in the example.
My guess is that they were inadvertently left out. They fit well with the example.
