Interestingly the problem only seems to occur for the "sent" tx's as I do see all the account names for the "receive" tx's fine (so perhaps a fix for at least this part may not be to hard).

Ouch - was thinking that I must have done something wrong rather than finding bugs in the very first RPC command I tested.

The accounting system exposed by bitcoind is completely whacked. The last time I used it I had several negative account balances and no others added up to anything resembling what was in the addresses. The GUI ignores it for the most part, leaving wild balances, and it should be thrown away and just addresses and labels used.

I have just started playing with bitcoind (under Windoze using the 0.4.0 and running the GUI as the server) and noticed that when I did a "listtransactions" an entry like this:
...
{
"account" : "",
"address" : "1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX6",
"category" : "send",
"amount" : -0.50000000,
"fee" : 0.00000000,
"confirmations" : 1234,
"txid" : "XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX",
"time" : 1213411747
},
...
I wanted to put an account on the 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX6 address so I initially did this via the GUI (which shows up in the Address book fine) but it just stayed blank in the listtransactions output when I re-ran the command.
So I then ran the following:
bitcoind setaccount 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX6 name
and it created a new address (documented behavior if the account name is the same as it already has I read) so why can't I see the account when I do listtransactions?
Strangely enough if I run this:
bitcoind getaccount 1XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX6
then it returns "name" is one would expect.
