If I follow your example, I observe the same behavior.  Though I dispute
that the habit won't appear again: I think it will, just in 2 days, when
it is time for you to do that habit again.  So as I understand it, you
are observing the expected behavior.

If this is not what you want, you may want to look at the ways to
customize org-habit, in particular

,----
| (defcustom org-habit-show-all-today nil
|   "If non-nil, will show the consistency graph of all habits on
| today's agenda, even if they are not scheduled."
|   :group 'org-habit
|   :type 'boolean)
`----

If I 
  (setq org-habit-show-all-today t)
then all habits are shown, even ones which I don't need to do today.  At
least to me, this sounds like the behavior you are seeking.

Hope that helps,
Josiah
