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.
