I  have, it maintains the old date as current for the agenda view.  I dint
see this as a problem however since the agenda can look at any arbitrary
date, not just "today".  Changing the date to today by hitting "." should
update the agenda view appropriately.

If you manually change the date by moving forward or backward, or by
changing the range from day to week to month it will refresh based on those
settings, but the ones used to create the agenda initially.
