I looked into this further, and I can see that in the earlier versions
of Org org-cut-special on inlinetask killed that inlinetask, not the
containing subtree:

* Heading
Text
****************** Inlinetask<point>
****************** END
More text
* Another heading

C-c C-x C-w

* Heading
Text
<point>
More text
* Another heading

It was by accident, AFAIU. Also, when point was at END, it was buggy
(only removed "END" line).

So, technically, the current behaviour cutting the actual subtree (not
inlinetask) can be considered a feature regression (if we call the
previously existing bug a "feature").

I think that it would be slightly better to keep special behaviour for
inlinetasks. But other opinions would be appreciated.
