AFAICT, the culprit is org-get-all-dates: it matches date strings, translates
to number of days since the (imaginary) date 0001-12-31bce,
accumulates them in a list, sorts them, takes care of gaps - but
completely ignores any repeaters: iow, the "don't always show" in the
Subject line should more accurately say "never show".
