From the release notes of 6.24:

Turning off time-of-day search in headline
===========================================

Some people like to put a creation time stamp into a headline and
then get confused if the time-of-day found in there shows up as
the time-of-day of the deadline/scheduling entry for this
headline.  The reason for this is that Org searches the headline
for a free-format time when trying to sort the entry into the
agenda, and that search accidentally finds the time in the
creation time stamp or something else that happens to look like a
time.  If this is more painful than useful for you, configure the
new variable `org-agenda-search-headline-for-time'.

HTH.
