Thanks!
Did not know about `org-with-limited-levels'.

After reading the function docstring again, I see that it behaved
correctly.
However, it seems that `org-back-to-heading' is not really used
according to the docstring in the org source code:
- `org-agenda' with subtree restriction: the results are different if
  you call it below or above an inline task.
- `org-attach', `org-attach-dir', `org-attach-tag', with point
  below/above an inline task behave differently
- the following functions from org.el behave depending on the point
  position (below or above an inline task):
  `org-entry-beginning-position', `org-entry-end-position',
  `org-get-heading', `org-get-entry',
  `org-insert-heading-after-current', `org-promote', `org-demote',
  `org-move-subtree-down', etc.
  Some of the functions above give very unexpected results if the point
  is below an inline task.

Would it make sense to add org specific macros to Hacking section of org
manual?
It is sometimes difficult to guess that some of these macros even exist.

Best,
Ihor
