You can use bean-query to produce a chronological list of transactions for
some subset of accounts and with suitable formatting ("bean-query
<filename> select location" works), Emacs' next-error / previous-error
could be used to bring the cursor to those in that order. This works.

Better even would be to write a script that uses knowledge of the
previously failing balance assertion and that print all the intervening
ones.  That would be a very helpful troubleshooting tool. I think something
like this ought to live in the bean-web interface actually.
