Do you mean that the #+tranclusion keyword is located inside the
transcluded headline? I agree (though I did not really think about it
when creating the file).

I am not very sure if I understand you correctly. AFAIU, the main
problem here is that #+translude lines may expand into Org elements that
change the element structure (e.g. when #+transclude is a low-level
headline, it breaks current headline section). You may probably need to
handle "headline inside headline" or "element inside non-greater
element" transclusions specially.

My example is certainly not an overlay issue. I did some performance
debugging. Most of CPU time was spend on org-element-parse-buffer.
For overlay issues, the alternative is text properties.

It is not very important. I did not think about recursive issue when
created the file. Mostly wanted to create a random large file.
