Indeed on repeated tasks the second undo seems to be weird and produces
bad output:

    * TODO test
      :PROPERTIES:
      :LAST_REPEAT: [2015-07-28 mar 14:40]
      :END:
    ]
     <2015-08-04 mar +1w>>

I guess your expected behavior would be to go back to the previous state
(i.e. change the last repeated property and the time stamp).

We could to that by always modifying the the headline, properties and the
date tag in a temporary buffer and *then* inserting in after all
"internal" modifications.  Probably other ways exist as well.  This would
presumably provide a nice workflow in this case.

I'm not very familiar with the agenda codebase and I don't have time to
allocate towards fixing this right now.
