Then the following year, I may hit it Dec...and that means that with the current 12 month validity, I would be SWU-less from Sept-Dec.
Assuming you didn't use them all before expiration, the SWUs granted in Sept would be valid through the end of the next Sept. So you would be SWU-less for Oct, Nov and the part of Dec before you hit 100EQM.

This is a very possible outcome. As is hitting 100EQM in Dec on year and July the next. You would be swamped with SWUs for a few months.
