This is my last post from that thread, with my conclusions:
QUOTE
I created a post for Sunday, December 11, 2005. I hadn't actually created this blog yet at that time, so I had no entries for the week of December 11 thru December 17.
After I created it, I refreshed my index page, and had a link to the week of December 4 thru December 10. Which, of course, does not exist.
So. When there is an entry on a Sunday, and weekly archives are used: The correct weekly archive page in its correct specified location (default, or if you customized it in your archive preferences) is created. However, when creating a list of weekly archive links, it sees the Sunday post as being part of the prior week, and it creates a link to the prior week. So, for creation of weekly archive pages themselves, a week is defined as being from Sunday thru Saturday. For the creation of weekly archive links when looping through with the [MTArchiveList archive_type="Weekly"] container, a week is defined as being from Monday thru Sunday.
I'd say that's not a Good Thing. I'd fix it myself if I had the slightest idea of where to look for it; I'm guessing it's not that hard of a thing to fix if one knows where to look.

So it creates the weekly archive files correctly, but it handles creating the links to them incorrectly when the week involves only a Sunday. (Ideally, since I've seen people here mention their weeks start on Monday rather than Sunday, it'd be good to have an option for it in the config. However, regardless of whether that option is provided at some point, file creation and creation of links to those files should be consistent.)
