I can reproduce it.

IIUC, you cannot reproduce the example above when contents are folded,
since you do not have access to the headline contents.

But you did yank the contents of the subtree into the middle of another
heading's content. So, what should do Org? Decide that you don't know
what you are doing and paste it at the end of the current section? What
if you really want to split the current section?

Is there any good solution to this problem?
