Looks like this was an intended change: http://orgmode.org/cgit.cgi/org-mode.git/commit/?id=2b03e945a19701194e510791a96006c5eee9edc6

PS: The commit message includes gmane.org links which are now dead. I think we should reference lists.gnu.org links (like above) for longevity of references.

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.

@Nicolas?
