Thanks, all, for the excellent report and debugging.

I'm wary of changing the regexp.  Although the docstring does suggest
the space shouldn't be a part of the first group, the group has included
the space since org-priority-regex was introduced way back in 2008.  And
making the suggested change results in a failing test
(test-org/entry-put).  So at this point, I'd lean towards adjusting the
docstring.

I've applied a different fix for the regression (b1de0c8e4).
