Hi, John.
Thanks, but no cigar...yet.
For the MasterCard account, the Online Center shows the one missing transaction, but Compare Register does nothing, so far as I can tell. I'm tempted to just manually mark the transaction "c" and go on. But I'd like to find the real answer - for myself and for others who might need the answer. I've had Q installed in Win8 for a few days, and this is actually the second time already that the red flag has appeared when it seems it should not. The first time, the flag went away when a different new transaction was downloaded and treated properly.
I may try the re-install tomorrow, but that is always a minor hassle, of course. Among other things, our old "no sounds" problem popped up again and I had to re-apply the QSounds.reg file that we've been having to use ever since Win2K back in 2000. I started to post the updated version of that in response to Elmer Tamayo's "No Sound in Quicken Program", 4/8/12, but then I saw that his sound problem was different. (But I see now that Ian McCall has posted a response that might need that reg file.)
Win8 won't actually be released for a while yet, maybe months. What I'm running now is the Release Preview, out just last week. It's the final step in the beta process, what used to be called the Release Candidate (or RC, no relation ); only a major bug can stop this from being RTM (Released to Manufacturing - to actually burn the discs) or RTW (Released to the Web - to be made available for download) in the "near" future.
This is not the time or place for a full review of Win8. My first impressions are...confused. So far as Quicken is concerned, it seems to be a new "Metro" GUI wrapped around good ol' Win7. To use Quicken, I have to revert to the "Desktop", which looks and acts a LOT like Win7. My impressions might be different if I had a touch-screen, but I don't, and using Win8 with a mouse and keyboard is kind of awkward. But maybe it will grow on me, as previous Windows generations have, after I've used it full-time for a while.

My new problem is the opposite: a couple of accounts red-flagged, but NO activity shown.
This MIGHT be the first known (to me) problem with Quicken in Win 8 (the Release Preview). Quicken 2012 Deluxe installed (again) into my E:\QuickenW folder as Quicken installs have been doing for me for a dozen years. All is well with Quicken/Win8 EXCEPT this quirk.
First one (USAA MasterCard) and now a second (a CD at BBVA Compass) show red flags in the Accounts Pane, but the Registers show no new downloads. Even after clicking Downloaded Transactions/Update Transactions again, the red flag is still there, but no new transactions. Seems to do no harm, just irritating - and puzzling.
And I see no flag at the top of the Accounts pane.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
The flag alongside the account name can indicate several different things; downloaded transactions being but one.
If in fact, the flag does say there are downloaded transactions, but you don't find them on the Downloaded tab below the account register, you can try going to the Online Center, selecting the fi/account, and making sure the Transactions tab is displayed. Then (if you see your transactions there) clicking Compare to Register.
If that doesn't work, the only other relatively reliable way to get things back to near-normal that I've found is to reinstall.
[Never used Win 8, so I have no idea whether it poses any new problems.]
