I think what you are seeing is the intended behaviour.  If you set a
deadline warning day it only shows up in your agenda when 'today' is
within the warning period (ie. you're less than 14 days away from the
deadline date).

I don't think you can set a deadline for 6 months in the future with
-14d and expect to see the warning when you view the calendar a week
before that deadline since the deadline is still 6 months away from
today.
