Summary: I started to encounter some errors while using the org-fc package after. I traced it back to a change in behaviour from org-up-heading-safe following some updates to my system. I did not see this change documented.

Old behavior: org-up-heading-safe will not move the point above the top headline in an org hierarchy (e.g. if there is text above a top-level headline.)

New behavior: org-up-heading-safe *will* move the point above the top headline in an org hierarchy (e.g. if there is text above a top-level headline.)

Unfortunately, I'm not sure what version exactly I updated from. However, see example, I did look at the diff for org-up-heading-safe and found this— https://git.savannah.gnu.org/cgit/emacs/org-mode.git/commit/?id=dfd36d1969ce2c33f5899e97c02fa62544735977. The older version has the expected behavior (well, the behavior I expected); the newer version will go up above the top headline.

See attached org file with (hopefully) reproducible example.
