Okay, but on the one hand this doesn't solve the problem with
`SETUPFILE'. On the other hand what if I want an org file without any
heading on purpose? Or otherwise asked is a file a `real' org file only
if it has headings in it?

You might say if you want some features of orgmode _and_ an org file
without heading you can always use, say, text-mode and load orgstruct as
a minor mode. Which does not solve the problem as well because with the
org-tree-mode hook for orgmode it shows some strange behaviour equally.

I like org-tree-mode but I think it does not play well with orgmode in
some cases. And as far as I see it even is not in contrib.
