Have done the above, and confirmed that you were right. I had set up the sub accounts for later use, but hadn’t put any dummy transactions into them, so there were no transactions for export! I had previously used the "Export to CSV —> Edit CSV —> Import" cycle to duplicate sub-accounts, which works OK because transactions aren’t required in that context. Humiliating spurious bug-report avoided!
