Requesting peer review. Assuming that goes fine Ill backport this to 2.3 and 2.2.

Makes sense to me Andrew.

If you were feeling keen you add more to the the unit tests which exposes this bug (benefit of not introducing the same problem in the future).

I've added a new test that demonstrated the bug. The new test is in a second commit. It can only go into master and 2.3, not 2.2. 2.2 gets the bug fix but not the test due to changes in the unit testing framework.

Peer review part 2

This definitely affects 2.3.2. Ran into it during the cron job, "Looking for quiz overdue quiz attempts between [yesterday 11:05am] and [about right now]", and just hung there. Tracked down with xdebug stuff and found it was hanging in this infinite loop. Applying the 2.3 diff fixed it.

Tested on the 2.2, 2.3 and master integration branches.
I repeated the tests for MDL-13629 - No problems there.
I ran the unit tests as well - No problems.
Test passed.
