FWIW, I tried it too both with emacs -Q and in my normal working emacs: I cannot reproduce it.
Hello Nick, Nicolas,
Thank you for trying out the MWE. I don't know what we could be doing differently.
So here's a recorded screencast (

Please follow this exact steps (just to reiterate, I am relying on auto-fill-mode to not trigger when RET is pressed.. I am not using M-q anywhere):
3. Navigate to the Heading, hit TAB, then to the PROPERTY drawer, hit TAB.
4. Go to the end of the DESCRIPTION property, hit RET.
5. Doesn't that property auto-fill for you? As you see in the screencast, the auto-filling happens for me.
Here's the C-h l log as you see in the linked screencast:
C-n [next-line]
C-n [next-line]
C-a [org-beginning-of-line]
C-p [previous-line]
C-a [org-beginning-of-line]
<tab> [org-cycle]
C-n [next-line]
<tab> [org-cycle]
C-n [next-line]
C-e [org-end-of-line]
<return> [org-return]
C-h l [view-lossage]
