not an answer but an fyi: in maint, i use ido-hacks with ido, and the org settings seem to be irrelevant. it works.
there is also one more thing: i do find it necessary to remove the confusing parentheses from the outline paths. they seem to be unnecessary and actually arbitrary. they might even depend on whether the path is in the current buffer or not, or somehting equally irrelevant. it's possible that they interact with an org setting for supplying information in parens, but inconsistently. so i find that it is better to remove them. here is the patch. i am not signed up with fsf, so i don't know if a tinychange would work or not. === alpha remove the parens from ido completion of olpaths Modified lisp/org.el diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el index 39d4029..7c497f6 100755 --- a/lisp/org.el +++ b/lisp/org.el @@ -12050,7 +12050,7 @@ this is used for the GOTO interface."
