see this thread for the details:

the short of it is that as of commit af81211fdc *any* inactive timestamp
within your "headline" that has a repeater will update when you mark the
task as DONE. it doesn't matter where that timestamp is.

i feel your pain. i hope you source control your org files. in the
meantime move the HEAD of your tree to some parent of af81211fdc or go
back to release_9.1.14.

good luck!
