Thanks for this (and, moreover, for your very handy repair function!).

One question, now that this syntax is stabilized, can the following
long-standing bug be fixed: sometimes the SCHEDULED line (or DEADLINE,
or ...) is moved synchronously with the heading when promoting/demoting,
sometimes not.

I found in which cases it does and when it does not: it depends on the
presence of text in the entry.

So, for example:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* The SCHED will be moved
  SCHEDULED: <2011-08-18 Thu>

* This one won't be moved along with the heading
  SCHEDULED: <2011-08-18 Thu>

Because of this text here...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

becomes, when *demoted*:

--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
* New section

** The SCHED will be moved
   SCHEDULED: <2011-08-18 Thu>

** This one won't be moved along with the heading
  SCHEDULED: <2011-08-18 Thu>

Because of this text here...
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

This had been fixed by Bastien in August 2011, but the fix had reverted
afterward.

Best regards,
  Seb
