Jeff Godin wondered via IRC whether some sites would have mixed dating of fines; that is, some moment-dated and others future-dated. While migrated fines might have this issue, I am pretty sure any overdues ever generated by Evergreen are all future-dated. IIRC, the thing which got tweaked a couple times circa 1.6 was exactly when they would generate, but the timestamp for the fines remained constant. I had to dig deep to verify, but you can see the genesis of generate_fines() from way back when here: b155b2af10084d . There we see that the first fine was dated one fine_interval past the due date (rather than the moment of overdue-ness), and subsequent fines built off that.
