Of course this isn't a perfect solution as the user is a VP and probably wants more than 15 days, but you do what you can...
At first I thought this could be a BES database corruption, as happened to our CEO a while back, but then I looked under enterprise activation, and it says the last activation was done... two days ago! So it looks like the phone tried to spontaneosly activate, figured all the emails it already had were already replicated and chucked them from the BES, and then failed, leaving it only with random useless emails.
Right now I'm just reactivating with a renewed BES account like what was done before. In any case it's time for a new device: slipping roller and a missing usb PIN that makes it impossible to backup or upgrade the OS, so I'm not super concerned. But does anyone have thoughts on what would cause a device to do what (I think) it did?
Thanks all!

I agree with the memory issue. Also, I have seen soft EA's that run on devices and do not know what causes them. I have seen exactly what you have and notice this on only some of our users. The date stamp on the EA does not jive with when we setup the device. You can do a soft EA by deleting Desktop Sync and the un-deleting this but our users would not even know how about this nor would I suspect they would try.
As you know, you can only get the max two weeks or x amount of messages so it can be a bite esp. with the upper Execs who depend upon email for 100% of what they do and want the history. Make sure he is not using the camera on the 8310 without a memory card as this will impact the device and render it without any memory if they load up the phone memory with pics...
