It took me a while to check into this and you have found a bug.

The exact circumstances to reproduce are as follows:
- a scheduled transaction
- for which the *next occurrence* falls on a saturday or sunday
- and which is set to move this to a monday

In that case the code to recalculate the occurrence dates to display on 
the calendar erroneously skips that next occurrence.

I have committed a fix for this together with a potential fix for the 
case of some occurrences sometimes jumping up and down.

Both will appear in the upcoming 2.6.14. You may want to test tomorrow's 
nightly already.

Regards,

Geert
