I imagine that's because of this code in data.cpp:
       if(tm.tm_mday==last_tm.tm_mday && tm.tm_mon==last_tm.tm_mon)
           thisevent+=24L*60L*60L;     /* already ran today, so add 24hrs */

Assuming it's going to run again 24 hours later isn't always going to be correct.

I imagine that bug has been there 20 or 30 years now. :-)
