Hmm, OK I think I have found the problem. The problematic box is actually a laptop, which I seldom leave running overnight. When do jobs under /etc/ cron.daily/ run? and what will happen if I miss the time (box suspended at that time)?
Jobs under cron.daily run at 06:25 each morning. If you're running a normal cron, as opposed to anacron, and the box isn't running at that time - the job will not run. Anacron will play "catch-up" with any jobs that were scheduled to run while the system was down.
