I just coded a small patch that seems to work. It introduces a new custom
variable to org-agenda, called "org-agenda-remove-timeranges-from-blocks" (there
could be a better name !) which, when non-nil, removes the time ranges
specifications from agenda lines.

Short example with the following entry :

*** <2010-07-16 lun.>--<2010-07-17 mer.> Test entry

If the variable is set to nil :

Vendredi   16 Juillet 2010
   -- <2010-07-16 lun.>--<2010-07-17 mer.> Test entry
Samedi     17 Juillet 2010
   -- <2010-07-16 lun.>--<2010-07-17 mer.> Test entry

If the variable is non-nil :

Vendredi   16 Juillet 2010
   --  Test entry
Samedi     17 Juillet 2010
   --  Test entry


Feel free to modify the patch or to find it quite unuseful :-)

Sincerely,

Julien
