A bit more generous org-at-timestamp-p does have some practical
advantages: it can save cursor movement when navigating an org document.
For instance, when navigating the following headline, I would typically
type C-n C-e to go to the end of the scheduled line. That puts the
cursor at the point directly after the scheduled timestamp:
* A headline
SCHEDULED: <2011-08-04 Thu>
^ i.e., here
Having to move the cursor backwards one point would add a little bit of
inconvenience.

I believe the current behavior of org-at-timestamp-p is consistent with
that of the *-at-point functions. For instance if I call M-:
(word-at-point) on the example below with the cursor immediately
following the word, emacs returns "word".
word
^ cursor here
Best,
Matt
