In fact, this wasn't the problem.
The problem was that my code relied (indirectly, via the day of the week
algorithm) on the STATION block's DAY parameter having updated some 10
seconds past midnight while (so I found later in FoxDoc) in reality it
can take up to 30 seconds for it to do so.
While it is true that this is documented and while it is also (at least
partly) true that "you just have to know these things" it still seems
very unusual (design flaw) since you'd really expect it to update
faster. This is even more true when you rely on some prebuilt code which
in turn relies on that parameter. In my case it was the "day of the week
CALC block" someone posted to this list a while ago and which inherits
this 30 second inaccuracy.
