Seems to work.

I spent ~10 minutes browsing the code before I wrote the list, because I would have liked to submit a patch rather than just a comment/question. After your quick reply I thought "this must have been fairly easy" and I went and looked at the changeset

https://code.orgmode.org/bzg/org-mode/commit/0811af50b49de832b74222189695a09327ef6e6b

I would love to contribute more to this project but am still far from being able to do what you just did there.

Anyway... I'd have a hard time doing my work without Org, and I'm once again reminded that Org is People. Thank you for helping maintain and improve it!
