I do not think that this is right. I tested a
$...$ in a \section and it works ok. The toc
entry is ok, everything seems fine. As I
understood it, $...$ is protected by default, and
an extra \protect adds nothing to it.
BTW, about $...$...$ it is rather simple (I
hope): the first pair defines a math environment,
the third $ starts a second math environment that
will never be closed.
