Allegedly, this was addressed in 10.4 (or one of its early updates).
If the Mac is unable to run the tasks due to being turned off or
sleeping or similar, when the machine comes back online, the tasks
will run at that time instead.
I do not know if it has fully corrected everything or not, just that
it has allegedly been fixed so shutting off the Mac is no longer
supposed to be a problem for getting the tasks handled.
