Two suggestions
1. Change the scheduled transaction to fire "a few days ahead". Trigger
   scheduled transactions to run "since last run" or exit and restart
   Gnucash. Check the transaction has fired and change the schedule
   entry to the future required date.
2. Disconnect computer from the internet, alter the date on the
   computer. Start Gnucash, ensure transaction is entered, then put the
   computer back to correct date and reconnect to internet as desired.

Both are fudges but could deal with your problem.
