I believe I've pinned down the cause of the reported behavior.
My default agenda buffer is a custom agenda block, which consists of an
agenda view and a todo view. The inclusion of the todo view caused the
variable org-prefix-has-time to be set to nil, which in turn prevented
org-format-agenda-item from removing the time of day string from the
headline (see lines 4857-64 of org-agenda.el). Thus, when I called "i d"
from the block agenda, the time was not removed from the headline; when
I called "i d" from the default agenda or the calendar, it was removed.
Here's a patch that ensures the time of day is removed regardless of the
current value of org-prefix-has-time:

Many thanks for adding this new variable.
Best,
