I seem to remember somebody saying that Genesis 2:4 was
the end of the creation account rather than the start of
the garden of eden account.

Doesn't the formula used indicate the beginning of an
account?

אלה תולדות השמים והארץ בהבראם ביום עשות יהוה אלהים--ארץ ושמים

The reason I say this is because we see a similar
formula in Genesis 10:1:

ואלה תולדת בני נח שם חם ויפת ויולדו להם בנים אחר המבול

and also in Genesis 11:10:

אלה תולדת שם--שם בן מאת שנה ויולד את ארפכשד שנתים אחר המבול
