This bug was fixed on October 31, 2015 with the following commit:

a87c34cb8d58e7019c8d081c02bbac9e93cef8ab

Unfortunately, that commit must have been applied only to the master
branch, as it is not present in the maint branch and thus was not
released as part of org-mode 8.3.4. I'm not sure why that commit was
never merged into maint. I'm flagging this as a bug to ensure that it is
merged.

I think the only solution at the moment would be to upgrade to a more
recent development version either by checkout org out through git or
using elpa:
