This sounds nasty.  Would you be able to produce some minimal examples
that trigger this behavior?

Also, do you see the problems when starting a plain Emacs (emacs -q or

INCLUDE is a lot more powerful in Org 8.3 than 8.2.  I though I'd perhaps
introduced new, unknown recursion bugs.  But now we know it is unrelated.
