But the results below demonstrate a problem. The 2nd and 3rd represent

I'm looking into this issue, but this caught my eyes:

Org-mode version 7.4 (release_7.5.409.g4f3a3) == latest
   ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

This looks like a mixed up Org mode install, doesn't it?

It would explain the problem you face. The functions for escaping
%-encoded characters has changed significantly and if you run
org-protocol.el from 7.5 together with org.el from 7.4 you would get
exactly what you got.

Could you check if you have a mixed Org install?

David,

I didn't know to see the 7.4 bit as a possible red flag.

In /usr/local/share/emacs, I have installed Emacs 24.0.50, including the bundled org-mode 7.4 release.

Into ~/elisp/org-mode I am nightly git pulling and making the latest 7.5 version

I have been toggling between 7.4 and 7.5 latest—cleanly, I thought—by uncommenting or commenting the line
    (add-to-list 'load-path "~/elisp/org-mode/lisp/")

Is this enough to tell you what I've mixed up?

Thanks,
Bill
