Loan Payments and Advance SX entry

I've been entering my loan transactions "by hand" for the most part.
That is, I have them set up as scheduled transactions with fixed splits
then correct the splits after I get my statements. However, I decided
to take the plunge and set up my mortgage via the loan druid.
After a few false starts, I got it to work so it calculated my next
entry correctly. Then, because I prefer to have my known transactions
entered well in advance so I can do an eyeball budget, I changed the SX
to automatically create it 60 days in advance. Then I had GC run all SX
since the last run.
What I discovered is that my next payment for 2009-09-01 was correct,
but the one for 2009-10-01 is a duplicate of the 2009-09-01 entry. It
looks to me like the loan calculator may be using the run date instead
of the effective entry date. Or maybe I've just set it up wrong and
only thought I had it correct.
Should it be possible to have scheduled loan payments automatically
entered more than one payment cycle in advance?
