That's the *only* option, because the other behaviour is not viable.  Imagine a
page [[Foo]] which contains:

----------------------------------------------
==Header 1==
Text
{{bar}}
==Header 4==
Text
----------------------------------------------

Where [[Template:Bar]] contains:

----------------------------------------------
==Header 2==
Text
==Header 3==
Text
----------------------------------------------

When you click the edit section link for header 2, which page, and which block
of wikitext, should appear in the edit window?  This is only the simplest of
examples; it would be very easy to construct a thoroughly pathological sample. 
Changing the destination of these section links is not going to happen.

Having the template wrapped in header tags is also quite useful for
highlighting that it's actually a header.  Regardless, this is really not more
than a minor inconvenience.

That would indeed be nice, but that's a separate issue (probably related to bug
12974) for which you should file a separate bug.  The specific example raised
in the bug report is INVALID, the underlying request ("make section edit links
not point to templates") is WONTFIX. Take your pick, but please don't bugwar;
you can still comment on closed bugs.
