Believe im having same issue - i can find the transaction on https://blockchain.info/ - i can see the balance using a watch-only address -
  -is uninstall/reinstall electrum the only way to properly update wallet balances?
  -wallet.clear_history() from http://bitcoin.stackexchange.com/questions/41042/why-i-am-not-seeing-received-money-in-my-electrum#comment47223_41056 does not  work
  -github still seems to be working the bug out https://github.com/spesmilo/electrum/issues/1525
  -electrum can locate the funding transaction on the blockchain (should i broadcast? it is already recorded on blockchain.info so broadcasting seems redundent) i have saved the imported transaction if posting it here would be of help.troubleshooting
