Outlook should not show task reminders as overdue until they are.
My comment is about the 'overdue' issue for tasks -- When task reminders are
highlighted in the reminder window, the due date shown is actually the date/time of the Reminder set up for the task, not the due date of the task. I think the due date should show the task due date.

Task reminders should function more like appointment reminders. A workaround is to schedule appointments that have no length, but this clutters my calendar and leads me to ignore the Task list completely. Am I the only one that finds the task list a bit limited?

I don't agree. The task should show overdue based on the reminder, but I
think it has to do with the way you use the feature. I set mine to remind me that I'm supposed to do something on a particular day. If I set the reminder for 8:00, at 9:00 it should show that it is overdue by an hour. I can see your point if the project isn't actually due for another week and the reminder is just for you to work on it. Maybe there should be another option for the way it reminds us.

Ah, yes, the story gets uglier, doesn't it. Good catch.
