Things like ~~~~ can still produce conflict with yourself (you are conflicting
in the datetime).

Adding a reply in a section edit, and then getting a diff of the full village
pump is quite bad.

It should either cache your modificarions or not cache anything. Can you test?
Maybe we could help there by showing a notification bar of "ignored conflict
with yourself".

How long would you keep such whitelist of edits to not conflict with?
