This sounds like old behavior (or maybe a problematic mix of new and old behavior). PROPERTIES drawer syntax changed (incompatibly) in 8.3; see http://orgmode.org/Changes_old.html. If you are running an older version, may want to try upgrading and then running the org-repair-property-drawers function defined on that page. Hope that helps! Best, Richard
