Just a thought (I didn't even bother testing it...)
If you create a current-mirror file belonging to the previous run, would
rdiff-backup see that and assume the last (future) backup wasn't finished
and regress to the previous one?
(If it complains about the future date, would it hurt if you set your
clock to the future date again, and set it back after the regression?)

Good luck!
