[O] org-entry-get backward incompatibility. Bug or feature?

[John]

Hi,

I'm migrating an older system for Org 8 to the latest
version (9.2.4) and I found org-entry-get behaves differently.

For the entry:

    ** TODO task
    SCHEDULED: <2019-06-14 Fri 09:15>


With Org 8 (org-entry-get nil "SCHEDULED") returns:

   2019-06-14 Fri 09:15


while with Org 9.2.4 for the same returns:

   <2019-06-14 Fri 09:15>


Is this a bug? Why Org 9 returns the brackets too in addition to the time?
