I have to agree that my first reaction was "huh?".  I realised that it does 
make sense, if you regard the ageing report "end date" much as you would 
regard the date setting for, say, the balance sheet report. IE the end date 
is effectively the date the report is run.   It makes much more sense if you 
run the report over some period in history, rather than going into the 
future.

My customer ageing reports seem to default to ending "Today" which seems to be 
sensible.  But I'm still on GC 2.2.7  maybe the something changed in 2.2.9, 
which hadn't seen a change of year until a few days ago. I don't know. 

Odd.
