The base date of a time stamp is the part before the repeater. IOW,
every time stamp with a repeater has a base date, therefore
`org-auto-repeat-maybe' changes them all. I see no problem with the
docstring.

I don't think we agree about the immutable part. At least, the user who
reported the bug solved in af81211fdc01b64449179bcdb77fb1c8ecb3fb94
didn't agree. Inactive time stamps are not immutable.
But the main issue is that I don't understand what useful and correct
information we loose if we drop the repeater part, i.e.:
- Rescheduled from "[2019-02-05 Tue .+1m]" on [2018-09-29 Sat 18:50]
to
- Rescheduled from "[2019-02-05 Tue]" on [2018-09-29 Sat 18:50]

I think quotes are not comment syntax in Org, so it means nothing
programatically.
Anyway, I don't really have any other idea besides dropping the repeater
part from automatically inserted inactive time stamps.
You may want to read the thread in the commit message referenced above
and possibly discuss with the bug reporter to find an acceptable middle
ground.
