It seems that I'm not the only one using this unintended feature in
previous versions of org, and probably there will be many others who
don't use the latest version of org and have not noticed yet but will
have the same problem when they upgrade.
I think that even if timestamps were never intended to be used inside
property drawers before, the fact that it worked for a long time and
nothing in the documentation suggested otherwise makes it a de facto
feature, even if unintended, and should be preserved.
I've located the line in org-agenda.el responsible of the new behavior,
and the following patch seems to fix it. I suggest it is incorporated
into the repository, maybe with a variable
org-agenda-skip-timestamps-in-properties-drawer defaulting to t if not
everyone agrees.
