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.
