I tested with the latest Org version and the bug is still there.

May I suggest to the OP (Josef?) to share the bug upstream on the
Org-mode list, if not already done?

Even if it's a minor gotcha, it deserves to be fixed.

Bugs are reported on the mailing list and tracked on
https://updates.orgmode.org.

I'd rather have the Org manual document the standard syntax and some
edge cases, when frequently reported.  But such "hacks" rather belong
to this page on Worg: https://orgmode.org/worg/org-hacks.html

HTH,
