I suspect that as well now. With 2.3, if I typeset my example, I get

That's cheating :) You have a section that takes vertical space, but
you do not see it.
Do you mean, that I get a bold 1 if I change the section layout to
the non-starred version and typeset?
Try it!
I did. (The question was whether you meant that.)
In case you talk about the latter, I don't see a reason why the one
with the 1 does not sense. Maybe I intentionally wanted to get only
the 1 typeset. This is possible in LyX by adding a note. And there
are a couple of cases where it has been recommended in the past
(maybe unfortunately?) that one should insert empty notes to keep
layouts without contents when nesting one layout into another without
adding any content to the outer one, e.g. to create a quote that only
contains a numbered list.
The behavior that I implemented only trigeers when
1/ one selects the whole paragraph
2/ an inset is inserted over this selection.
3/ the inset is able to contains layouts different from Plain Layout
(i.e. it is not a CharStyle type of inset)
So inserting an empty note in an empty paragraph does not count
And even when the layout has been reset, one can set it back, the
Thought Police is not threatening you for non-LyXian behavior.
It is just suppose to help, not to force anything.
I am not saying that this is the way to go. I am only saying that it
is far from obvious to me that this is the way and it wasn't my
original concern.
So you tell me that when you sent your original message, it was clear
for you that the Paragraph that contains the note was still in
Section* layout?
Yes. I have worked for a while with LyX now. :)
I think it is a good idea that one can set an inset to not inherit
the font.
However, my latest compromise suggestion was that only the first
paragraph enherits the font of the enclosing text. It will then
reflect the format that the text will take if the note gets dissolved.
I think this is too complicated.
I think it is less complicated than to understanding when the behavior
triggers as you explain in the 1-3 context above.
By the way, what happens with your patch if one dissolves the inset?
Currently, if I try to recreate the behaviour in LyX (as far as I
understood it) by setting the sourrounding layout to normal, the first
paragraph is changed to Standard. That does not seem ideal because I
would have thought that dissolving the inset is just the inverse of
inserting it.
