Just to clarify - I upgraded 2 weeks ago and everything ran fine until now.  My schedules are as follows:
 
Daily Differential Incremental - 8:00PM - 4:00AM Daily Mon-Thur (Frequency every 10 hours)
Weekly Full - 8:00PM Friday - 8:00PM Sunday (Frequency, every 3 days)
Monthly Full - 8:00PM Friday - 8:00PM Sunday (Calendar, last Friday of the month)
 
The dailies and the weeklies both ran fine for two weeks.  In fact, the "overlapping" weekly ran after the monthly failed (which is a normal occurrence for this schedule when the monthly fails, say with an error 41 etc..)  Further, many monthlies did in fact run and I suspect that only those in a queued state failed just after midnight.
 
I'm thinking of ways to test this.  Perhaps trying to write to a tape drive that will be busy tonight with a "last Monday of the month" backup with an open window all week?  I suspect the job will queue and fail after midnight despite the window being open all week.  Since I don't generally specify that calendar based backups can retry after their run days I might test two policies one with and one without the extra check box.

You are having "somewhat" more luck then me.  I have about 25 Polices...and only 2 fire off period.  They don't run out of Window...they just don't start.  My support has been to recreate the policies again.  I did that with the the '/bppolicynew <new_policy> -sameas <old_policy>' command, but no difference.  "Support" now says to create them from scratch.  I am working on that now.

Just ran my first Monthly backups since upgrading one of our smaller environments to 6.5.2. I've got about 40 clients that fire the "last Friday of the month" with a generous window that stays open until Sunday evening.  About 35 of those clients fired at 8:00PM as normal, but they all failed just after midnight with error 196 - backup window closed.  Anyone see anything similar to this?  I know adoption of 6.5.2 is low.  I'm about to open a ticket w/ Symantec.
