I just realised planner trunk suffers the same problem I described here: after
updating planner-muse with this patch, everything was allright, but after a
while I started using planner-trunk (and I'm glad I did!), and a \M-x plan would
bring one task only to the current day (repeatedly calling `plan' eventually
brings them all to the taoday page!). I still haven't had the time to analyse
the behaviour on p-copy-or-move-task (I glanced at it, and it's relation with
the problem I'm verifying didn't seem obvious, but I'll take a closer look later
on). I find it odd, however, that noone else has complained about this:
either the problem is on my configuration, or anyone is using planner-trunk with
this patch :)

Will report back,
