I am not sure what you mean, since a single undo will always heal the
line again, regardless of where you break it.
I am a BIG fan of the Org mode slogan "Your life in plain text." The
power of plain text has been demonstrated over and over again. You can
run text manipulating commands on it, you can process it with a large
array of different programming languages.
An undo is a basic text editing feature that everyone should
know. Reassigning non-standard behaviour to the return key is - in my
opinion - against the ideology.

Given enough time, I could come up with a situation where I would run a
keyboard macro in which I would expect the return key to break the line,
regardless of where I was on that line (in a tag or whatever).
I am a very minor player in this game, but I would really, _really_ like
Org to remain as true to it's slogan as possible.
Keeping it real,
Jarmo
