Thanks for the quick clarification!  I didn't see the relevant line in
the documentation since my Emacs from Debian shows only the info
documentation for the (outdated) Org that is bundled with Emacs [1].

I understand now that Org does what it should.  However, I find this
behavior quite dangerous.  It caught me after more than 10 years of
using Org.  If there's a list of long-term issues with Org somewhere,
this problem may deserve being added to it.

Cheers
Christoph
