Unfortunately, this is a known limitation. IFTTT captures the new due date, rather than the due date as it was when the recurring task was completed. This would also happen if you complete a task before its due date on a regular or recurring task.

We’re sorry for the inconvenience. The team is looking for a solution for this limitation. 

Unfortunately, it is a current limitation of IFTTT infrastructure. It may take a while for tasks and notes to sync, e.g. when you add an applet to sync Evernote and Todoist activity.
