There's no reason why the dates can't be changed.
The reason dates straggling 1.1.1970 was chosen was because 1.1.1970
corresponds to time 0 in time64, and I felt that having a few negative
time64 numbers would be interesting to test sorting.
However this is a weird weirdness -- the test output shows that the
transactions were sorted correctly - 31/12/69, 31/12/69, 01/01/70,
02/01/70, 02/10/70 (in d/m/y); it's just the display that is incorrect.
Moreover the display has to go through qof_print_date which takes a
time64 and returns a string.
I'd be keen to know Stephen's build and try debug this.
Stephen can you modify transaction.scm as follows and let us know the
test output? (Beware the parentheses!)

Started clean this morning by recloning the git repository. Made much
further progress but ended up with some test failures. Here are my steps:
1. sudo rm -rf gnucash
2. git clone https://github.com/Gnucash/gnucash
3. cd gnucash
4. git checkout -b debian
5. cp -r ../debian .
Here is the contents of that directory -- copied to Google Drive:

The file you want to look at for test failures is LastTest.log. You can search for
"Test Failed".
This time the test failure is in
gnucash/report/standard-reports/test/test-transaction.scm:
[pass] line:654, test: dual amount column, first transaction correct
[fail] line:678, test: dates are sorted
transaction.scm/sorting options
-> expected: ("12/31/69" "12/31/69" "01/01/70" "02/01/70" "02/10/70")
-> obtained: ("12/31/70" "12/31/70" "01/01/70" "02/01/70" "02/10/70")
[pass] line:684, test: sort by number
That suggests that for some reason Guile on your system can't handle dates
before 1/1/1970. That's strange, but probably not important to many GnuCash
users.
Chris Lam, any reason not to change that test to use later dates?
