They just won't wake it up and if any did become due while the unit was switched off, they show as past due when you switch it on. It's a screw-up in the emulation layer (the 50g is basically running on a Saturn chip emulated by an ARM-based machine) and it won't get fixed now that the 50g is deprecated.

I never had much hope of there being an official fix even while the RPL part of the system was under active maintenance. It appeared nobody wanted to step up and take responsibility for issues in the low-level/emulation part of the OS, least of all Kinpo itself. I've always been hoping someone in the community may someday investigate the issue and perhaps find a way to create some sort of patch, as I've seen happen several times in the TI calculator community with user-created patches for certain hated bugs/restrictions on some of the TI model families.
