Strange that I didn't realize it before...the problems seems to be that the date combo boxes don't seem to work even during the original set-up. So, right after I changed them to 6/15, they must have reverted back to 7/1, and then the game apparently decided that wasn't a good ASG date for my season (because it was a pretty short one, 90 games or so), so it moved it up to 5/29.
At any rate, this seems like a simple problem with the combo box not interacting properly with the rest of the game (or perhaps the combos not being queried for user input to begin with). If that's fixed, I suspect many other problems with strange ASG dates being auto-scheduled will disappear.

I had to set up a new one, but it looks similar to what I observed before:
2006: Opening day 5/04, ASG 8/08
2007: Opening day 5/10, ASG 8/08
2008: Opening day 5/08, ASG 8/08
etc. etc.
The schedule (start date 5/04 or later, start on a Thursday) gets moved around correctly, but the ASG date gets stuck, even though the schedule file sets the date relatively to Opening Day (allstar_game_day="97" in this case).
As I've mentioned before, manually importing the same schedule again seems to work correctly, and fixes the ASG problem...I've just done that in the 2009 off-season, and I got an ASG on 2009/8/11 as it should be. However, if I let it go on automatically from that, now the ASG date is stuck on 8/11. It looks to me that the problem is that the ASG date simply doesn't get recalculated at all for a new season when the old schedule is re-used. Shouldn't be hard to fix, I imagine.
At any rate, the work-around right now is to re-import the schedule each offseason, but at the price of having the same team pairings each year, because the team id randomizer doesn't kick in now. I'd rather see the ASG scheduling fixed.
