Yes, it does make the default time noon.  But AFAICS the time of day
doesn't actually matter in any of the Org source code where the result of
org-get-cursor-date is used.  Have I missed a case where it does matter?

However, in the attached patch I've revised that so that the default time
of day is <org-extend-today-until>:00am, i.e. it's the earliest time that
Org treats as being that date.  WDYT?

Alternatively, we could refactor the code around where org-get-cursor-date
is used to make it more explicit when the time of day doesn't matter, and
look further if there are any cases where it does.

Best wishes,
    Neil
