Hi John,

What version of Org are you running?  This sounds like old 
behavior (or maybe a problematic mix of new and old behavior). 
PROPERTIES drawer syntax changed (incompatibly) in 8.3; see 
http://orgmode.org/Changes_old.html.

If you are running an older version, may want to try upgrading and 
then running the org-repair-property-drawers function defined on 
that page. 

Hope that helps!

Best,
Richard
