After an item has been marked as Long Overdue and the patron account has been
charged, that issue is no longer connected to the patron (the book is not
longer checked out to them).

When the item is returned, the charge for the item is removed from the patron's
record.  However, even if the Forgive Fines checkbox is checked, any overdues
accrued on this item before it was marked as Long Overdue are NOT forgiven.

This is because the subroutine that handles clearing the Lost bill can tolerate
not having an associated borrowernumber (since there should, in theory, only be
the one Lost charge for the item), but the subroutine for clearing overdues
cannot (since multiple people could have unpaid overdues on that item).
