AFAIU, we're talking about a third-party package which implements its
own UI. We cannot support every UI in the wild.

This is an agenda bug, which probably use a regexp to find timestamps.
But timestamps in properties are not valid Org timestamps, per Org

There are already plenty of locations to use timestamps. We have
scheduled, deadline, plain timestamps... I don't think we need more of
them.

Also, a hook is easy enough to implement in this situation.
