And I have also tried it.  And that fixes the problem (which I hadn't
yet noticed) of an improperly formatted TODO entry.

However, my original question still stands: does it really make sense
for org-mode's agenda view to take the "time" for an activity that has
been scheduled for that day from an inactive time stamp when the
active one in the SCHEDULE entry has no time element?

I can use %u to not have the time in the inactive time stamp but
that's simply avoiding the issue... something I am happy to do if need
be but would rather like to avoid!  :-)
