To add, I also think that the earlier behavior made sense, if the point is
at bolp, insert before, else insert after.

But I never noticed this change as I
leave org-insert-heading-respect-content at its default value of nil.

So talking of consistency, it would be nice to get that "if bolp, insert
before" behavior regardless of the value
of org-insert-heading-respect-content.
