Transpose menu item transposes to the wrong key

I'm attaching a score in the concert key of B. I'd like to transpose it to the concert key of Bb.
When I try this, I bring up the Notes->Transpose gui, select By-Key, Closes and select Bb/Gminor, and press OK.

Rather than transposing to Bb, it actually transposes to A.
There are several peculiar things I've noticed about this score. It has lots of transposing instruments, including Bb, F, and Eb as well as C instruments.
All the Bb instruments are written in the key of 7 sharps, the C instruments in 5 sharps, the F instrument in 6 sharps, and the Eb instrument in 4 flats. This is correct. But when I press the Concert Pitch button to see everything in the concert key of B, then everything appears in B except for the Eb instrument which appears in 7 flats = Cb. This is not really wrong as much as unexpected.
I'm not sure whether this anomaly is what is causing the strangeness in transposing.
