This is a 'beauty wart': when a card has never been seen before (which you can 
see because 'repetitions' is 0 or 1), it can have a bogus value for this 
quantity. 

This does not affect the scheduling in any way.

That this card does not show up can have different reasons: either it is in an 
active category, or the vice-versa of the card was scheduled for today.
