I cannot reproduce this. Anyway, since the headings defined in the
templates are created once, you can create them by hand for now then
leave the rest of the config untouched.

It's what Org does for me.

The agenda display also uses the #+CATEGORY property. So that you can
have long-filenames-are-fun.org, if the category for this file is LFNAF
then the agenda will show LFNAF :)

Agreed!

Did you try to remember a note with "~/Tools/Org/E" and the string
"-*- mode: org; -*-"?  The test is done with (org-mode-p), so the string
on the first line should be okay.

This is currently the case.
