I used org-store-link and org-insert-link to make a link in the attached
document (I distilled it down from a real document). In my org-mode
(pulled from git this morning), using Aquamacs 2.0 on Mac OSX Snow
Leopard (10.6), org-mode cannot follow the link I inserted with o-i-l,
and it pops up a dialog asking if I should add such a link target.

Just do outlines with TODO's in them. Change them to DONE when they are done.
You don't need to figure out how to use org-mode if you don't like. We used it
on OBTW, and it worked fine.
If you like (I will probably do this), you can use the org-mode commands to add
deadlines and scheduling (or you can ignore them). I will probably do this in
an incremental way so that I can further focus my mind on individual subsections
as they need to get written. See example in [[*submit%20through%20submission%20site][submit through submission site:]]

A quick followup:
I had a shot with git blame, and it seems like the only thing that might
have interfered with this search recently is the commit with the SHA1
has starting a84c8a2c
And, indeed, when I comment out the block that was introduced in this
commit (starting at line 9389):
;; ((and (org-mode-p) org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline)
;; (and (equal (string-to-char s) ?*) (setq s (substring s 1)))
;; (goto-char (point-min))
;; (cond
;; ((let (case-fold-search)
;; (re-search-forward (format org-complex-heading-regexp-format
;; (regexp-quote s))
;; nil t))
;; ;; OK, found a match
;; (goto-char (match-beginning 0)))
;; ((and (not org-link-search-inhibit-query)
;; (eq org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline
'query-to-create)
;; (y-or-n-p "No match - create this as a new heading? "))
;; (goto-char (point-max))
;; (or (bolp) (newline))
;; (insert "* " s "\n")
;; (beginning-of-line 0))
;; (t
;; (goto-char pos)
;; (error "No match"))))
...then my link-following works again.
Carsten, could this patch be reverted until it can be fixed?
Best,

It's not a bug, it's a feature: To revert to the old behaviour you
can customize the variable `org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline'
and set it to nil.

I believe I have narrowed down the problem to a more specific case.
I have reexamined the bug I had, and as far as I can tell, it occurs
because of the punctuation at the end of the header line. I am
attaching a file that shows the funny behavior. I can link to a header
titled "Foobar" correctly, but not one titled "submit through submission
site:" Attempts to link to the one word header "Bletch:" also fail.
I conjecture that the problem is the final ":" as punctuation. Does
that seem plausible? If so, should we simply extend the escaping in the
links to handle this case (akin to the way spaces are escaping)? Or am
I off base here?

Ah, now I see the problem: For some reason `org-store-link' removes
the colon at the end of the headline. I reopended the issue as a bug;
setting the aforementioned variable to nil might be considered a
temporary work-around.
Thanks,

Okay, pushed a patch to master that should fix this problem.
`org-store-link' now keeps the headline string intact when storing a
link.
Could you test if this fixes the problem for you?

I'm afraid it doesn't seem to. I am attaching a copy of my link-bug.org
file. When I click on the links to "submit through submission site:" or
"Bletch:" headlines, I get the no such link error.

D'oh. I'm sorry. I didn't read carefully enough. This DOES fix my
problem.
The problem is in STORING the link, not in matching. I was
misdiagnosing the problem.
So when I stored a NEW link, the problem goes away. Sorry. I was not
clearly realizing that old links would still be busted.
Patch is good!

This is expected. I've fixed the function that stores links. As you
can see in the link to the "Bletch:" headline the colon is missing in
the link (first pair of brackets). That's why Org does not find the
headline when you try to open the link.
If you now store a link to "Bletch:" the colon is included in the link, e.g.
[[*Bletch][Bletch:]] (does not find headline)
vs.
[[*Bletch:][Bletch:]] (works)
