No, it is not the case. AFAIU, in the minimal failing case, you capture
#+FOO: bar
* Baz
This is _not_ a node. A node starts with a headline and everything is
contained within that headline. So it doesn't qualify as a valid `entry'
capture type.

It might be that you misinterpreted the definition of a node. Hence my
suggestion to improve the documentation.
In any case, you can simply move the keywords below the headline, and be
done with it.
