A player of mine has a drow assassin who's stats aren't computed correctly in the online CB.

Drow Executioner L9

Relevant feats: Ki Focus Expertise, Superior Implement: Accurate Ki Focus
Relevant items: +3 Magic Accurate Ki Focus, Nonmagical dagger

What character builder says: 

Melee Basic Attack:

Magic Ki Focused Dagger +3: +14 vs. AC
Dagger: +13 vs. AC

What he should have: +18 vs AC:

6 - Dex Bonus
4 - 1/2 level
3 - Dagger Proficiency
1 - Ki Expertise
1 - Accurate Ki
3 - +3 Magic Ki

So it seems that the +3 of the Magic Ki Focus and either Ki Focus Expertise or the Accurate Ki Bonus is not added to the attack bonus.

Accurate bonus (indeed, all Superior Implement bonuses) only applies to Implement attacks.  MBA is not an Implement attack.  The Enhancement bonus definitely seems to be missing, though.

Do you have a source for that? It seems weird to me that you can use the ki focus' enhancement bonus, but not the ki focus' superior implement bonus for a weapon attack.

PHB3 p195.  This information is not in the online compendium, which is really annoying.  You're not the first to make that mistake.  I wasn't the first to make that mistake...

Thanks! 

Replacing the accurate magical Ki Focus with a normal magical Ki Focus helped, now the CB adds the enhancement bonus correctly to all attacks.
