I didn't have time yet to create minimal files, but I learned more:

1) I can create it with a simpler custom command:

(setq org-agenda-custom-commands
      '(("h" "Agenda and This Week tasks"
       ((agenda "")))))

2) The daily schedule stuff is also missing.  So this is something in
the agenda processing that is not unique to habits.

3) It only happens the first time after startup that I switch from
weekly to daily mode.  If I change the custom commands after that, there
is no problem.  This makes it act like some sort of initialization
problem in daily/weekly agenda generation, not something unique to
habits.  (Having to type "r" once in the agenda after startup is not
much of a problem.)

4) It happens with version 7.01g, and with the release_7.3-39-g68b5ca3
from git.

I've attached my .emacs in case there is something odd in there that
could be causing this.
