This seems to have been a confused Emacs session on my part.  After
restarting it no longer behaves as described above (it doesn't expand
tasks past the headline by default -- which is the old behaviour I
remember)

My Emacs was definitely behaving weird - C-x o would cycle from the
agenda, to the org file, to the message window, then back to the agenda
with 2 windows open (and the message buffer).  After restarting emacs it
just cycles between the agenda and the org file (as expected).

Sorry for the noise,
