OK, to clear this up technically.
setIntros() turns on and off the versification extra 'slots':
TSTMT BK CH:0 - chapter intro
TSTMT BK 0:0 - book intro
TSTMT 0 0:0 - testament intro
0 0 0:0 - module intro
This has nothing to do with filtering tagged content (In the engine)
__________________________________________
setGlobalOption("Headings", "On"|"Off")
This will tell the filter set to turn on/off showing anything considered
a section heading. This used to only be pre-verse titles (e.g., "The
Sermon On The Mount")-- as DM has pointed out. (Relatively) Recent
changes have expanded this to be any content 'pre-verse'-- not just
stuff in a <title> tag.
I can see conceptually how these can easily get blurred. It was much
easier to see the difference when "Headings" was limited to titles like
"The Sermon On The Mount". I don't like seeing these when I am reading
through the text. They are sometimes like "spoilers" in a movie, e.g.,
"The Death of King Saul" I usually turn these off when I am reading.
On the other hand, when I am flipping through my printed Bible, I value
these to help orient me to about where I am. Intros were seen as
lengthy book or chapter introductions frequent in printed study Bibles.
Now that "pre-verse" material can be lengthier than simply a section
heading, it does blur the lines a little.
Anyway, just wanted to technical state the difference between the two
mechanisms.

In the past, I've viewed the "headings" toggle as a toggle for
non-canonical material. But the discussion on the other thread has me wondering
whether intros (non-canonical) information is handled by it.
That is exactly what I said - the headline toggle switches on everything,
intros and the like.
Now Troy says this is not how it should be and how the engine is handling it,
but fact is that it does so. On all modules I have tried out where I know there
is intro material.
Now, my question - is there something very simple we module makers do wrong? Or
is there some major and overarching misunderstanding between engine design,
osis2mod and module makers?
FWIW, usfm2osis.pl (and presumably usfm2osis.py) do not produce a verse or
chapter 0 div but produce div type intro or something similar.
