Part of the concern with the "due at next 100 hours" might be that while a 100-hr can be overflown, an AD, unless explicitly specified, cannot. The seat rail AD, in particular, cannot be overflown. Ergo if someone not really familiar with the AD were doing a maintenance ferry flight in the 10-hr overflight buffer but the seat rails had not yet been inspected, the aircraft would not be airworthy.

Obviously, someone looking over the logs could just do the math from the last 100-hr tach time, but it is somewhat misleading to lump the AD and 100-hr together since they're subject to different rules. A bit nit-picky, granted, but that would be my concern.
