I think what I would do is have a faceless standalone that once launched sent a command in time every second, or 5 seconds or whatever, and the handler would then check a list or a database for tasks whose datetime was prior to the current time, and were flagged pending.

this seems to be an unneccessary big workaround for something that used to work right out of the box. 8-)
Remember this works fine in LC 5.02 and 9.05, so this must be a bug.
