Greetings.
I am pretty sure that the following can be done, I just do not know how.
1. In general I want to see repeated timestamps, TODOs etc. appear at
every repeat, so I need to have the value of
org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all set to t. However, for *some*
repeated timestamps I would only like to see only the next repeated
instance. How do I accomplish this?
2. I have some events that take place multiple times in a week. This is
easy to accomplish:
* Learn something new about org-mode
<2013-10-05 Sat 17:00-18:00 +1w>
<2013-10-06 Sun 12:00-14:00 +1w>
However, I would also like to associate, with each of these
timestamps, a different piece of text. Most often this text is a
location. I want to see this text in my agenda. How can this be done?
I would also like to say that org is gradually allowing me to better
control an increasing proportion of my activities.
All the best,
Jarmo

Sorry, no idea but interested as well.

When I switched to Org-mode I was disappointed on the limited ways
to do recurring events (without sexp): every 2nd Tuesday of a month,
single exceptions, ... not possible.
However, when I was told about org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift
this changed :-)
Now, I create a recurring event (let's say Linux User Group):
** <2013-10-07 17:00-19:00 +4w> LUGG @City
(you can even skip the "+4w" here)
Next, I invoke org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift and multiply the
event for the next year or so. This gets me a copy of the event for
each occurrence. Those distinct events I can delete, cancel, move,
add notes to, and so forth.
I like this much better than one heading for all occurrences.

Yep, that was the solution I was looking for. Thanks!

That will do the work, but as a programmer I must say that I do not
really like this technique, since it involves copying the same
information to a large number of places. If I want to change information
common to all occurrences, I can of course do a replace-string, but
still...
In any case, thanks for the tip! I learned something new, and may have
to resort to using the approach anyway.

I thought you wanted to get different instances per occurrence in
order to add different notes to it.
As a programmer, I do understand your objection. However, I tend to
have following structure:
* Events
** LUGG meetings :LUGG:common:tags:
- common information about this event
*** <...> single occurrence
*** <...> another occurrence
[...]
For other purposes, I am also using the following approach:
* Events
** LUGG meetings :LUGG:common:tags:
- common information about this event
- <2013-09-30 Sun 18:00-20:00>
- <2013-10-06 Sun 18:00-20:00>
- [...]
This is a rather minimal approach and works only if you do show
each time-stamp in your agenda. You can still add notes as a
sub-list to any occurrence.
However, AFIAK you can not use org-clone-subtree-with-time-shift
with it. (... except by using the first method above and convert the
heading to list items - the opposite to C-c C-*)

You're welcome.

I tried to play with these, but did not get the extra info in the
agenda.
Maybe I need to get better acquainted with agendas. Is there a way to
associate a property with each repeating timestamp and show this
property in the agenda? (There most likely is.)

Try one of these[1]:
;;; http://orgmode.org/worg/org-faq.html
(setq org-agenda-skip-additional-timestamps-same-entry nil)
... most probably fixing your issue IMHO.
;; Show all future entries for repeating tasks
(setq org-agenda-repeating-timestamp-show-all t)
;; Show all agenda dates - even if they are empty
(setq org-agenda-show-all-dates t)

Hmm, I don't think its one of these I might be looking for. But I did
learn some more parameters in this lifelong process. So thanks!
