I came across this bug with respect to info boxes that have transcluded comment
sections on Wikipedia related to a template box
[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Template:Physics#Leave_comments_to_explain_the_rating
Physics]. In that section they note, "Please note that if you put headers on
the comments page (i.e. == Text ==, then the table of contents will get moved
into the comments box also. You can avoid this by putting __TOC__ just below
the physics template call on the article's talk page." And I would argue that
if the person doing that does not take note of this, the person who tries to
fix it will have to be very knowledgable about Wikimedia in order to figure out
what the heck is going on. Basically the transclude and hide make where the TOC
disappeared to very opaque.

It would make sense to me that if there is a desire to have some containers not
have a TOC in them (i.e. if you have to tell people to add a TOC to the article
because they are including a header in the section) then it would be really
nice to make it possible to turn off putting a TOC above a particular container
and make life a lot easier.

Finally, I will add that this issue irks me not because it should be easier,
but because if you did not cause the problem, and do not know about it, it is
really difficult to diagnose and so probably goes unfixed in several cases.
