Comment(by nickm):

 arg, I think you're right.  In the case where the period shifts forward,
 we'll hit the first check in configure_accounting, which checks for
 {{{
 start_of_accounting_period_after(interval_start_time) <= now
 }}}
 and advances the accounting period.

 Not quite sure what the right way to express the fix is.  I'll take a
 crack at it... have a look at the latest patch on my bug1511 branch?  If
 you like it, I'll backport to 0.2.1.x and do the merging
