Here's a bug in ledge where the use of { } differs to @ . Let's take two examples:

; Example A

D 100.00 GBP

2012-01-01 * Opening balance
  Assets:A                            100 AAA @  5.00 GBP
  Equity:Opening balance

2012-01-20 * Transfer
  Assets:A                           -100 AAA @  5.00 GBP
  Assets:B                            100 AAA @  5.00 GBP


; Example B

D 100.00 GBP

2012-01-01 * Opening balance
  Assets:A                            100 AAA @  5.00 GBP
  Equity:Opening balance

2012-01-20 * Transfer
  Assets:A                           -100 AAA {5.00 GBP}
  Assets:B                            100 AAA {5.00 GBP}

When you run --lot-prices on both examples, the output is identical.
However, when I use -B, the first example gives me the output I was
expecting:

        500.00 GBP  Assets:B
         -500.00 GBP  Equity:Opening balance

whereas the second example gives me:

         500.00 GBP  Assets
            -100 AAA
          500.00 GBP    A
             100 AAA    B
         -500.00 GBP  Equity:Opening balance

John confirmed on the mailing list that this is a bug in ledger: "This is a bug. I didn't realize that the basis cost should "follow" commodities with lot pricing -- or any kind of lot-based tagging. This is a bit involved to fix correctly, but if you'll add a bug for me in Bugzilla I'm happy to give it a try."
