First of all, thanks for following up on this---I'm slow to respond, but 
appreciate your help in narrowing this down.  The problem's been happening

That directory is where I installed Org.  It's where I pull down the source tree 
with Git.

This is a new variable to me!  I've never done anything with it, but it's got a 
lot in it.

Here's a screenshot of the problem I get:

And here's the output of describe-text-properties when the pointer is in the 
link that shouldn't be there:

I've changed this (which was also mentioned in another thread yesterday) and 
will try it out for a while to see if that makes a difference.
