A friend who is a JIRA wiz showed me that you can actually pass the filter (escaped) as a jqlQuery parameter to JIRA via URL:

http://hostname/secure/IssueNavigator!executeAdvanced.jspa?clear=true&runQuery=true&jqlQuery=created%3E='2010-05-31%2000:00'%20AND%20created%3C='2010-06-06%2023:59'%20ORDER%20BY%20created%20ASC

I created an ASP.Net page which generates the URLs based on an offset week or month.

Everybody's happy!
