Perhaps this note from my .emacs might help.
;;
;; removing timestamps
;;
;; the variable seems to be completely ignored. it always
;; removes active timestamps no matter what the setting of this
;; variable is. it never removes any other timestamps or time
;; specifications.
;;
;; if it is fixed, then i might want it for inactive as beg.
;; with a wide screen it is less important.
;;
;; this does not work for inactive (i tested it) as displayed
;; with the [ ] feature.
;;
;; (setq org-agenda-remove-times-when-in-prefix 'beg)
(setq org-agenda-remove-times-when-in-prefix nil)
;; default is t.
;; (setq org-agenda-remove-times-when-in-prefix t)
