Rich Have been using GnuCash for a similar period of time and have not noticed any reconciliation problems (other than those reported as bugs on the list - any that are are generally fixed pretty quickly) up to v4.9, particulaarly in recent versions. Haven't yet done a reconciliation with 4.10.
Anytime I have had a problem it has usually been a transposition, date errors and or missing transaction from the reconciliation period and different ordering in GnuCash and in the banks record leading to me missing a transaction. Scheduled transactions if you have them might have different values from the bank's as might interest calculations if you calculate them yourself. I have had problems where the bank has a completely different order from my own entries and even the imported OFX entries because of clearance requirements for entry into the statement at the bank end. Have you tried checking the bank's balance by importing their opening and closing balances and transactions into a spread sheet and summing them? Unfortunately most pdfs will not import tables cleanly into most spreadsheets but I have resorted to entering the numbers by hand (individually cut and paste) to check. Only once have I discovered a bank error and they were most apologetic.
