I tried to reproduce this.  When I do this and enter the date two
days into the future (8 December), I get

* 2011
** 2011-12 Dezember
*** 2011-12-08 Donnerstag
**** Test
     <2011-12-06 Di>

So the headline uses in fact the date that was entered at the prompt,
only the %t is replaced by the current date.  I would think this
all works as expected.  Maybe I am missing something?

I see that when I do "k c" from the agenda, then indeed also the %t
is replaced with the cursor date.  So indeed, this is a bit
inconsistent.  What would be the right behavior?
