I thought this was fixed, originally with commit 5ea0228
and after York Zhao found a problem (see the thread at
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/79187)
with commit 0911edfac881ab17a2cd1670f169ff4bdf1ac486
and two subsequent commits by Achim to fix some problems:
commit e655e664bff9fb6e98478682f03e713f990acba5
commit f2483ec4bbe196ab29ef6312b0d7c1c179a9eafe
Is this another maint vs master issue perhaps?
