OK, I was focusing on:

(org-schedule nil "<2024-08-23 Fri>--<2024-08-26 Mon>")
SCHEDULED: <2024-08-23 Fri>
"Scheduled to <2024-08-23 Fri>"

Thank you for clarifying this.  I think it is worth preserving the
multi-day behaviour in Excorporate, but Benjamin's patch is a nice
addition for same-day ranges.

I pushed the amended patch, and I am closing this bug report.

The change will go out with Excorporate 1.1.2 sometime today.

Thank you,
Thomas
