In any case, if you turn up at the gate on time, checked in and with a valid boarding pass, surely saying "sorry we offloaded you cos we thought you wouldn't make it" is not a fair reason to deny boarding?

OTOH, I guess if that happened, EU261 might apply?
Technically your boarding pass wasn't valid anymore because it had been canceled and you were given a new boarding pass for the next days flight.
