I neglected to mention that I have org-return-follows-link set to t.

So, if org-at-timestamp-p cannot be retrained, then I'll have to retrain
myself to a) either insert something after the timestamp before RET or
b) use TAB, instead of RET, to follow links (and set/reset the variables
appropriately).

Be that as it may, however, org-at-timestamp-p's behavior just feels
wrong to me.
