There have been a couple of recent reports on this problem (headlines
with just a timestamp cause this error) in addition to the ones you
found:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/52621
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.emacs.orgmode/52786
The first one contains a diagnosis and a (possibly wrong) suggested fix.
