Hi Karl, did you manage to fix this one?
I read "Property drawers allowed before first headline" in etc/ORG-NEWS from the master branch: Property drawers are now allowed before the first headline. Org mode is moving more towards making things before the first headline behave just as if it was at outline level 0. Inheritance for properties will work also for this level. In other words: defining things in a property drawer before the first headline will make them "inheritable" for all headlines. I guess your problem might be related to this new behavior. 2 cents, -- Bastien
