Org-mode version 7.8.09
How could this be?
I ran it in a separate, minimally configured Emacs and got the good
behavior, so org-version must be lying somehow or else not all of the
functions were redefined when I upgraded. I thought a reload
uncompiled would take care of this. I'll restart emacs and try it
again. Thanks for the sanity check.
