I've never tried leaving an agenda buffer open overnight and refresh it
in the morning: if I remember, I'll try it tonight and see what happens
(I could simulate the whole thing right now but no time).

You should probably check the variables whose names start with
``org-agenda-start-...'' to make sure that they have not been
inadvertently modified incorrectly, particularly
org-agenda-start-on-weekday.

What I would do is run edebug on org-agenda-redo and make sure it is
executed, but assuming that it is, it sounds like it is making the
implicit assumption that the agenda was created today. You can always
quit the agenda buffer and recreate it: that should work.
