No due dates showing for Assignments or Quizzes on the Lessons page

For assignments, I just created a new one (1 minute ago) and the due date is not displaying on the Lessons page, but it is displaying on 'Pick an Assignment' and the due date there is correct.
Tested adding a quiz and no due date is displayed.
I believe this is now working as intended?

Correct. Newly added items do not have a due date showing. Existing items still do. That is the correct behavior from what I understand of this patch.

was this an existing entry? The problem is that the old code initiatalied the description with the due date. But description is a field controlled by the user. We can't blank it in the new version because it might have content set by the instructor. So the patch prevents new items from having a description initialized as the due date. It has no effect on existing items.

for the moment sakai-29.rutgers.edu has the current trunk of lessons. The only significant difference between trunk and the 2.9.x branch is that trunk allows student content to be associated with a group as well as an individual. They'll diverge further during the vacation.
Assignments display their due dates (if set) and it would be nice if Quizzes would also display their due dates.
Create an Assignment with a due date
Create a Quiz with a due date
In Lessons, add the Assignment - the due date displays
Add the Quiz - the due date does not display
