A quick followup:

I had a shot with git blame, and it seems like the only thing that might
have interfered with this search recently is the commit with the SHA1
has starting a84c8a2c

And, indeed, when I comment out the block that was introduced in this
commit (starting at line 9389):

     ;; ((and (org-mode-p) org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline)
     ;;  (and (equal (string-to-char s) ?*) (setq s (substring s 1)))
     ;;  (goto-char (point-min))
     ;;  (cond
     ;;   ((let (case-fold-search)
     ;;           (re-search-forward (format org-complex-heading-regexp-format
     ;;                                      (regexp-quote s))
     ;;                              nil t))
     ;;         ;; OK, found a match
     ;;         (goto-char (match-beginning 0)))
     ;;   ((and (not org-link-search-inhibit-query)
     ;;              (eq org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline
'query-to-create)
     ;;              (y-or-n-p "No match - create this as a new heading? "))
     ;;         (goto-char (point-max))
     ;;         (or (bolp) (newline))
     ;;         (insert "* " s "\n")
     ;;         (beginning-of-line 0))
     ;;   (t
     ;;         (goto-char pos)
     ;;         (error "No match"))))

...then my link-following works again.

Carsten, could this patch be reverted until it can be fixed?

Best,
