Hi Carsten, I don't know if this is also in Emacs 23. I currently run two instances of org-mode (Emacs 22 in Linux at home and Emacs 23 in Windows at work). I'll keep an eye on it and report back if I see this behaviour in Emacs 23. I am not currently trying to build a test case for this bug since I can't reproduce it at will yet. Thanks for the descriptive analysis. Hopefully we can squash this one either by it being fixed in Emacs 23 or by getting a reproducible test case that shows the problem.
