Thanks for this.  I did decide to bite the bullet and look into this.  I
think I have some working code, modifiying:
  org-agenda-add-entry-to-org-agenda-diary-file

so that it parses out the date at that point, conditional on
org-agenda-search-headline-for-time being t.  In this way, it doesn't
touch the ical export functions.

I will double check and submit a patch for consideration. 

A small note though: along the way, I've sometimes noticed that diary
entries   are included with a level 2 heading rather than a level 4
heading.  I haven't been able to track this down, its just noticeable
when I later browse agenda.org

i.e. that 2nd line is sometimes given two heaings, and is not within the
right level 3 heading.  Anything obvious I might want to look at when
debugging?
