If I understand your question correctly -- then the main reason for the change
is that many places in the UI currently use the word "Chapter", but the actual
behavior of the software is applied to "headings", so "Heading" is a more
accurate description. (see bug 153549 and bug 152605, comment 14)

Meanwhile, the change from "Outline Numbering" to "Chapter Numbering" was
motivated primarily because of a perception that users were confused by
"Outline numbering" and that "Chapter Numbering" might be better. The change to
"Heading" is assumed to be even easier for users to understand. So a "double"
advantage: possibly easier for users and more accurate in relation to actual
behavior.  

The "consistency" part comes "on top" of the labelling change. There is
sometimes incorrect (and misleading) terminology in the extended tips and help
pages. Because some updating is needed with the command name change, then it is
convenient to try, at the same time, to introduce clear, consistent
terminology.

About the icon for the Navigator panel.... a suggestion ...
Instead of using a letter (which has the problem of not being the same in all
languages) -- try a graphic image like:

_____
...
 ...
  ...
_____

You understand that the point of the command is to make a kind of "filter" of
how many levels of headings are shown in Navigator.  I have tried to show with
the dots that the command has something to do with headings, where there should
be some blank space between the last heading and the bottom of the icon (to
suggest that not all headings are shown).  (I am not proposing to use "dots"
necessarily -- just used here to communicate the "concept" of the icon, not its
graphic expression.)
