When I could not get org-meta-return to work in terminal Emacs, I
realized that org-meta-return is only bound to M-return and not M-RET.
Is there any particular reason for this?

No idea. Fixed. Thank you.

Thanks to both of you: It used to work, then it didn't, only a
few days ago I realised there was a difference between M-RETURN
and M-RET but thought of this as a configuration error and now it
simply works again!
Regards, Gregor

Thanks for the quick fix.
I believe Emacs does intelligent remapping; for example if you type
M-return in GUI Emacs, if there are no bindings for M-return it will
look up the binding for M-RET. Therefore simply binding M-RET and
removing the M-return binding is "better"/"cleaner". This is a hugely
trivial nitpick, but I thought I'd point it out

The purpose of the M-RET binding is to allow quick splitting of long
headlines generated during rapid brainstorming e.g.
* Common pets are cats and dogs
Can be quickly converted using M-RET to:
* Common pets are
* cats and
* dogs
This is a short distance from
* Common pets
* cats
* dogs
This used to be in the documentation, and I use this function all the
time. I'd hate to lose it.

I'm not sure to understand your concern.
We are not removing M-RET keybinding, but removing a duplicate binding:
[(meta return)]
