Hi Arne,

thanks for this post.

First of all, font-lock should help to see easily if a heading is  
incorrect, because the incorrect heading you showed would not be  
fontified like a heading.

In addition, I have just installed a wrapper around `outline-back-to- 
heading', where this error originates.  The new error message will now  
specify buffer and position of the error, so you can more easily find  
and fix the error.

HTH.

- Carsten
