Thanks for this information.  (This replies to the question in my
original message: is there a command to correct the indention?)

Playing a bit to reply to your questions, I think I just found a way to
reproduce the problem dependably.  If on a header line of a section
having contents, I do something like:

   C-e RET *** Allo RET

(well, merely choose the number of asterisks so the problem shows!).
The "Allo" line will then get intended according to the number of stars
(which is very convenient), but the following contents lines keep their
original visual indentation, which might happen to be incorrect.

No, the indentation does not change.

My usual work around was to move up to the header, shift right
(indentation gets fixed), then shift left (to counteract).
