Hi Richard,

More information would be good.  Things like:

  - what is the SHA1 of the git commit are you on?
  - Is it back that breaks or something on the week you are displaying?
  - Is your org-agenda-files variable a list of files, directories, other?

I can't reproduce this here.  I went back to September 2010 a week at a
time without any problems.  I'm currently using org-agenda-files with a
list of directories instead of files (but I have no idea if that has
anything to do with your problem or not).

Regards,
Bernt
