I finally had a chance to test this out with the latest Org from git and
a vanilla Emacs config, and I was unable to reproduce the behavior you
saw.  Here is what I did:


$ git clone git://orgmode.org/org-mode.git

$ emacs23 -Q &

(Edit org.el to re-introduce patch.)

$ cd org-mode/

$ git diff
diff --git a/lisp/org.el b/lisp/org.el
index 164081c..4329def 100644
--- a/lisp/org.el
+++ b/lisp/org.el
@@ -18507,10 +18507,10 @@ Taken from `count' in cl-seq.el with all keyword argum

   (let ((pos (point)))
-    (skip-chars-backward " \t\n\r")
-    ;; (if (cdr (assoc 'heading org-blank-before-new-entry))
-    ;;    (skip-chars-backward " \t\n\r")
-    ;;   (forward-line -1))
+    ;;(skip-chars-backward " \t\n\r")
+    (if (cdr (assoc 'heading org-blank-before-new-entry))
+       (skip-chars-backward " \t\n\r")
+      (forward-line -1))
     (beginning-of-line 2)
     (goto-char (min (point) pos))
     (count-lines (point) pos)))


Then I evaluated the following in Emacs:


(delete "/usr/share/emacs/23.2/lisp/org/" load-path)
(add-to-list 'load-path "~/tmp/org-mode/lisp")
(require 'org-install)
(setq org-blank-before-new-entry '((heading . nil)
   (plain-list-item . nil)))


You can see what happened on my screen with the following:


wget http://98.129.169.48/tmp/emacs-testing.time
wget http://98.129.169.48/tmp/emacs-testing.script
scriptreplay emacs-testing.time emacs-testing.script


Would you mind testing it out again?
