Yes, the headlines are currently not fontified since, with this patch, I
was mainly looking to satisfy the initial set of rules you laid out
which didn't mention headlines as being a fontifiable element for ANSI
sequences, or at least I didn't get that from my reading of them.

It does make sense, however, to be able to add headlines to the
`org-ansi-highlightable-elements` variable so that they are fontified if
the user wishes.  Although doing so with this patch wouldn't work.

I agree that we should reveal the invisible sequence when trying to edit
it.

Thanks for the tip about `org-catch-invisible-edits', it led me to
`org-fold-show-set-visibility' which I think is the appropriate place to
reveal a hidden sequence.

Thanks for the tip, I'll look into it.
