Fixed. Thank you.

Inlinetasks has a lot of glitches like the one you noticed above. It is
not ready for prime time. Worse, I don't think its design is good,
either. Even if that sounds smart at first, inline tasks should not use
the same syntax as first-class headlines. This introduces too many
complications.

However, since inline tasks have been around for years, it may be a good
time to decide once and for all how, and if, they should be included in
Org proper. Note that last time this discussion happened, we couldn't
even agree on a set of features.

Regards,
