Project showing up in "Today" grouping with no apparent date

I am seeing some behavior with grouping by dates and agenda that are leaving me scratching my head. I'm thinking it's a bug?

I have one project, under a heading. A "peer" of it is another project that has buried down in it's hierarchy a date from yesterday (I have no idea if that is affecting anything). So the project itself has no dates at all. Here is how it is set up. ("WorkInProjgress" is the name of a business I am trying to start).

So, if I got to date or agenda view, grouped by date (I've look at both "today" and "week") the "Business Setup" project always shows. up. This is true of agenda view also.

If I add "date:today" to the filter, still there. If I add "date:overdue" it disappears, along with everything else of course (in this case, using outline view / group by Date / Today. Note that the List view shows similar behavior.

I tried copying and pasting it to another list to see what would happen. Only the original shows up. However I saw something really interesting happen when I exported it and imported once again. It created a new document called WorkInProgress (2) and now that one has the "Business Setup" showing up. The original no longer shows up. Mind blown.

It gets better. Delete the newly imported one. Go back. Now the original no longer shows up. The "Today" view is as expected.

But I have to know.... if I import it again, will it come back? Yep. Importing it brings it back again.

Attached is the backup that produces this exquisitely interesting behavior. I was unable to attach it. It flickers briefly and disappears again in this post. So here it is as glorious json.
