Are you saying that this worked in some earlier version
and is not working in 7.7 and tip?=20

Or that you only tried it in 7.7 and tip, found that it
is not working and reported it as a bug?

If the former, which version was it working in? If the
latter, it might very well be the case that org-mode just
does not support this: whether that's a bug or a feature
is in the eye of the beholder.

Personally, I'd be surprised if this ever worked.[fn:1]
Whether it can be made to work is another matter - but
then it is not a bug report, it is a feature request.

It makes a difference because it would require different
methods of attacking the problem: in the first case, I'd
bisect the commits to find out who broke it; in the
second case, I would know it's new functionality and
would just try to implement it without breaking anything
else and I wouldn't go hunting for a culprit.[fn:2]
