Yes, `cond' is more suitable here.

Not sure if it is a bug or the indended behavior.  `read' returns the
first valid lisp expression in finds.  E.g.

(read "(a b c) foo bar") => (a b c)

I think this is good enough at this place.  A complete solutation
would require to parse the entire string.

:D

Of course the next step for you would be to tame the beast called git
and prepare a proper patch.  The steps are:

 1. create a topic branch for the fix

 2. change the function, commit to topic branch and provide a proper
    commit message
    (http://orgmode.org/worg/org-contribute.php#sec-4)

 3. create a patch against current master

 4. send the patch manually or using git send-email
