I just checked on the mechanics; the 'every X days' is set when you create the Daily, and the due date comes up per a countdown off of that. So doing it a day early doesn't reset the countdown, because you did it on a day it wasn't due. The current programmatic mechanic says 'do a modulo of the days versus 'every X' since the creation of the task and if it's 0, then it's due that day. Similar to any other daily you do on a day it's not due, you get credit, but it's still due on the regular day.

Your question makes a lot of sense, though. 'last date' is a lot more meaningful than 'creation date'. I'm not a regular coder by any stretch of the imagination, so you may want to file a Request a Feature bug if you haven't already done so.
