I read the thread upstream, and see what you mean, and upstream's
perspective makes sense.  How do you feel about keeping this bug open,
because this "gotcha" should be documented somewhere.  I'm not sure if
org-mode's documentation would be the best place, because it's non-free.

For future readers of this bug, Brian G Powell wrote some nice style
suggestions for avoiding this pitfall, so here is the link:

Thank you for documenting this one too.

Indeed!  Please go ahead and give this bug a more useful title.
