It is indeed intentionally. If you like it better I can change it so
that you have to specify the first recur month:

 t_recurs <id> quaterly <start-month> <first/second/third/last> <mo, tu,
we, th, fr, sa, su> <hh:mm>

 I would rather not that it just defaulted to use current date as offset
for the quater ie. the example you mentioned with a task in august
making the next recurrence in november.
