"Ignoreheading" Beamer Environment doesn't work with :BEAMER_act: Overlay

Question

What I would like to do is the following:

I have a beamer frame where I added :BEAMER_act: [<+->]. This works well with all blocks that follow, but not when I set :BEAMER_env: ignoreheading.

Example:

#+OPTIONS: ':nil *:t -:t ::t <:t H:2 \n:nil ^:t arch:headline
#+LATEX_CLASS: beamer
* Greetings and saying goodbye
** What are greetings?
   :PROPERTIES:
   :BEAMER_act: [<+->]
   :END:
*** Greeting
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_env: definition
    :END:
A *greeting* is something you say to greet someone.
*** 
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_env: example
    :END:
- ``Hello world''
- ``What's up?''
*** 
    :PROPERTIES:
    :BEAMER_env: ignoreheading
    :END:
We will discuss ways to say goodbye on the next slide.

(Note that I have set #+OPTIONS: H:2)

What works is that each block and each bullet point comes one-by-one. The only problem is the last sentence in the ignoreheading "block" (it actually isn't a block, and I guess that's where the problem is...), which appears on every slide of the "What are greetings?" frame.

An ugly solution I found is to enclose the last sentence in beamer code as such: @@beamer:\onslide<+->{We will discuss ways to say goodbye on the next slide.}@@.

Surely there must be a more practical (and prettier!) solution to this. Can anyone help?

You could try adding \pause either before the ignored *** heading, or before the We will discuss... text. I've found that manually inserting \pause is more reliable than Beamer_act
