Of course. I did a test install of release_9.6.17-1108-gf490c15, and yes--the 
unepected behaviour persists. The result of the test expression is not 
completely identical to that of version 9.6.6, though; instead of ...

   (headline (:raw-value "heading" :begin 1 :end 16 :pre-blank 0
   :contents-begin 11 :contents-end 16 ...

... it starts with:

   (headline (:standard-properties [1 1 11 16 16 0 (:title) first-section
   element t nil 13 ...

But nevertheless, it's still not nil. Thus, I'm afraid, the upgrade did not 
solve the issue.

Thanks for the superfast reply and for any further help,
