Unfortunately it's the same phenomenon that happens when you fly a GS over X-days, only to be rerouted on the last X-day into a LC day. All that credit on the last day goes "poof" into your RES guarantee.
Of course the opposite is true flying a carry-out trip RES-REG, where all that credit gets premium double-pay treatment when the trip ends on a REG day off.
