I have no idea why it's so, any ideas?
Every time a block is mined, a certain amount of BTC (called the subsidy) is created out of thin air and given to the miner. The subsidy halves every four years and will reach 0 in about 130 years.

Accounts can have negative balances and are *not* directly related to addresses (except for incoming txs) - perhaps you have another account that cancels out the one that you are seeing (in any case accounts are not relevant to actual bitcoins held).

Advice - if you think of accounting like an accountant then do not use Bitcoin accounts (they are nothing like that and they have led many users to confusion).

Well, that might mean that it's a bug ?

Those are my transactions for that wallet: http://screencast.com/t/ubxxZDNpzF5

Also these are my accounts: http://screencast.com/t/BrdHntIMfp

It's not a bug but "just the way it works" - I also had tried using "accounts" initially and after finding more and more problems just gave up on them (as most others have) - perhaps it would be just best to forget about them?
