Dear Nicolas,

Thank you a lot for your help.
Is it possible that this setting is set by Debian packagers?
I ask this because I reproduced this bug with and without my 
 ~/.emacs[.d/] files.

OK, I've tried and it does the trick:

  M-x set-variable RET
  org-link-search-must-match-exact-headline RET
  nil RET

But I ashamedly don't know how to set it permanently in my  ~/.emacs!
Would you please help me on this?

Nicolas
