Please consider what follows as doubtful, as I absolutely don't have enough
experience on this subject... but let's try...

No, I absolutely don't think so. Org files are plain text files: what you
don't see in there, is simply not there. So, how could such markers be stored
in the Org file, when capturing something, and not be visible?
IIUC, the markers are simply some sort of regexp search to find certain
typical positions:
- org-marker matches the timestamp which is at the origin of the presence of
the entry in the agenda
- org-hd-marker is the beginning of the heading.

So, no, capture does not insert any biscuit for later. It simply is the agenda
functions which scan all the agenda buffers, and remember where the important
elements are, to be used when jumping.

You say:

>>> modify the heading of the entry ("Some task").
Do you really modify the title more often than the date? You have luck!
Because of procrastination, I'd say I much, much more often change the date, to
reprogram the entry at a later date, and so on, and so on.
Anyway, would you jump onto the beginning of the heading, just where the `***'
start, I think you can change the line:
(org-get-at-bol 'org-marker))
with:
(org-get-at-bol 'org-hd-marker))
to get another behavior. Now, from that, adding a constant number, or --
better -- moving forward a couple of times, or -- certainly there are still
better options -- ... would allow you to land on whichever component of the
heading.
Best regards,
Seb
