Um... a heap of different versions it looks like, on the systems I use
regularily, some from ELPA (one of the ELPA archives), some from org
git, and the version delivered with emacs 24.3.

Right now I'm on a debian box using git org, and I've done
 make clean
 git pull
 make
and started a fresh emacs.

And here I see a different behaviour

Hm... 'C-h v org-odt-use-date-fields RET' says:
 org-odt-use-date-fields is a variable defined in `ox-odt.el'.
 Its value is nil

Hm... I may play around with these settings, but for now I'm happy with
the default behaviour (no date stamp).

I'll go to git org on all of my emacsen.

Thanks!
