I'm not sure if that particular scenario is part of the "hard due
date" funded enhancement:

might be worth looking into.

As a short-term measure, you could have a SQL UPDATE statement run
every 10 minutes that sets all due dates for items with a check-out
time greater than Dec. 7, 2010 (or whatever) to Jan. 10, 2011.
