Actually, with the default (`auto') setting of the variable I indicated
in my previous email (`org-blank-before-new-entry'), I get the first
behavior, not the second.

The only problem is that when I insert the first headline, it gets
inserted after an empty first line, so adding a second headline fools
the auto setting into thinking I want empty lines between headings. But
if I delete the empty first line, M-RET never puts any empty lines between
headings. So the heuristic might not be perfect, but it seems to work for
all but the first headline.
