Here is how I handle it. I am using the Getting Things Done (GTD) technique of contexts for each activity on my list. For those items that truly have a due date (must by done by that date), I add the context "! Due Date". For items where I am only setting a due date to allow me to manage recurrences, I do not add that context. Then, when I'm looking at my Overdue view I can clearly differentiate those where I missed a true deadline versus a MLO deadline.
