The property is at most set once cf. the second clause.

Yes.  Less ugly.

Is the advantage that it won't fold?

The current stuff is ugly.  I didn't know much lisp when I worked on
ox-koma-letter.

I updated the patch.  Perhaps the loop determination shod be moved to a
separate function to keep the template clean.  I thinking this cause we
(or at least I) sometimes point to ox-koma-letter as an example of a
derived backend.  WDTY on that?

In the attached at least this work as expected.
