I was really too harsh here, my apologies.

However, what we still need is this:

Make your file as small as possible so that it still repeats the bug.

So like


#+STARTUP: odd
#+STARTUP: hidestars
#+STARTUP: logdone
#+SEQ_TODO: TODO NEXT PENDING | DONE(d!) CANCELLED(c@)
#+TAGS:       [redacted]

* TODO some task
* something with a date
  <2010-10-10 Thu>


etc etc.

Then: how do you construct the agenda view?  Is it the daily agenda,  
or a TODO list.  What does it look like?  In which line is the cursor  
when you press "e"?  Is that line linking to the first task in your  
org file, or the last?

If I can reproduce a bug, I can fix it (well almost always...).
