print --forecast generating an unexpected date

From a report on the mail list:

~ every 16th day of month from 2023-03 to 2024-03
    (asset:cash)        1

$ hledger-1.28 print  --forecast=2023-02   # Should print nothing ?
2023-02-16
    ; generated-transaction: ~ every 16th day of month from 2023-03 to 2024-03
    (asset:cash)               1

splitSpan seems to be doing something odd with adjusting the start date here: https://github.com/simonmichael/hledger/blob/1.28/hledger-lib/Hledger/Data/PeriodicTransaction.hs#L253 Debug output: ptspan: DateSpan 2023-03-01..2024-02-29 requestedspan: DateSpan 2023-02 alltxnspans: [ DateSpan 2023-02-16..2023-03-15, DateSpan 2023-03-16..2023-04-15, DateSpan 2023-04-16..2023-05-15, DateSpan 2023-05-16..2023-06-15, DateSpan 2023-06-16..2023-07-15, DateSpan 2023-07-16..2023-08-15, DateSpan 2023-08-16..2023-09-15, DateSpan 2023-09-16..2023-10-15, DateSpan 2023-10-16..2023-11-15, DateSpan 2023-11-16..2023-12-15, DateSpan 2023-12-16..2024-01-15, DateSpan 2024-01-16..2024-02-15, DateSpan 2024-02-16..2024-03-15 ]

• Clarify semantics of periods specified on command line + periods specified in periodic rule
• Possibly some connection with #2032
