I think that we understand each other, but just to make doubly sure:
If you have some plain text containing a margin note, and you select it and
change it to a section heading (or paragraph heading or whatever) then LyX
produces the following result:
\section{ xxx \protect\marginpar{ yyy } }
which compiles and gives the result that the user was probably hoping for. You
do NOT get:
\section{ xxx \protect\marginpar{ \section{yyy} } }
which does not compile. This only happens when you go _inside_ the marginpar
and
change the text there to "section" as well (telling LyX that "yyy" is another
heading in its own right).
You're suggesting disallowing the first just to make sure that the user can't
then go and do the second. Personally I disagree, but maybe the devs will not.
So I suggest you enter this into the bug tracker and let the devs decide.
