I'm not seeing this. I've enabled 'view role expirations' in access control and cleared the cache. When I go to admin/user/user/expiration as admin, I see that 'customer' has an expiration set, but when I go to /user/# or /user/#/orders as 'customer' I don't see anything about it. What am I missing?
I just had the same problem, and wanted to post my solution.
Basically i had the advanced_profile module (http://drupal.org/project/advanced_profile) enabled (but not setup)... so disabling it made everything appear as expected...
So make sure you don't have a user profile module enabled that may be overtaking the display.
