This bug does indeed exist in the org bundled with emacs. Reporting this
to emacs-devel sounds like a good plan, and I'll do so in a couple days
to let anyone on the org mailing list have a chance to correct me if I'm
doing anything wrong on the org side. But I do agree this looks like a
bug in emacs core (even though I wansn't able to find the cause).
