Try this:

===(snip)===

nowyyyymmdd:{(ftime %Y%m%d)}
(:pagelist name=Test.? if="date {*$:nowyyyymmdd}.. {=$:Timestamp}"
$:Timestamp=-:)

(:pagelist name=Test.? if="date {(ftime %Y%m%d)}.. {=$:Timestamp}"
$:Timestamp=-:)

(:pagelist name=Test.? if='date ..{=$:Timestamp}' $:Timestamp=-:)

===(snip)===

Previously I was using a "name=Test.[A-D]" to limit my pagelist processing
to just the 4 files I had set $:Timestamp on.  When I broadened it to
include pages without that PTV set then my pagelist also included those
pages.  Now you'll note in each of the examples above that I've included the
"$:Timestamp=-" to get rid of pages without a $:Timestamp.

Note that Patrick's solution, the 3rd one above, is the only one that
properly handles "recognizable dates".  The others recognize only a limited
set of formats such as 2009-01-29 or 01/29/2009 but not "January 29, 2009"
in the PTV.
