Mhh, why don't you just insert a newline above the next heading and yank
then?

No.

I wonder how you end up "between two stars" in the first place...
With `org-special-ctrl-a/e' t, I would not expect this to be an issue.
But as indicated above, I don't use clean mode aka org-indent-mode.

Lets say 'safer'. But while "..." indicating folded content at the end
of a line is an integral part of org, things like org-hide-leading-stars
seemed to me always to be purely cosmetic. Nice to have, but if one
really edits org files by hand (it is all plain text, right),
potentially a problem.
