Thanks for the reply. Do I need to file this as a bug, or does this thread
constitute a bug report? I'm behind a firewall/proxy and haven't setup email in
Emacs, so I would just copy and paste the message from org-submit-bug-report and
email it? I'm not (yet) an elisp-er, so I can't fix this myself.
