I think I spotted your mistake. Considering (a part of) your ECM: * Heading :PROPERTIES: :DESCRIPTION: This is a very long description that will auto fill at the =fill-column=. But this is inside a property drawer, so the auto-filling should be disabled. :END: There's a line between the heading and the properties drawer, so it is a regular drawer, where filling is allowed. `org-lint' warns you about this.
