BUG: Changing a task date resets % complete

[Guest]

Program: Outlook 2007 public Beta 2
OS: Windows XP SP2

Steps to reproduce:

1) From the To-Do pane, create a new task. Its due date will be set to today
by default.
2) Double click to open the task, and mark it as 50% complete. Save and close.
3) Right click the task, and set the Follow Up date to Tomorrow.
4) Double click to open the task.

Expected results:

Task is still 50% complete but due tomorrow.

Actual results:

Task is 0% complete and due tomorrow.
