The reset notification is correct because it means the quest is reset and you can take it again. However in order to take the quest again you have to leave the island and go back on.
I'm pretty sure this is by design and not a bug, to stop exactly what you tried to do. The daily is a daily from reset to reset, so why should you be able to use tokens collected on the previous day, when you can't take those tokens from the island?
If this was the intention, then I should not have received an on screen notification that I had deposited 20/50 tokens... the bug is there
