OTOH, this "fix" introduces another problem.

What if a user wants to both use :export: tag and export text before
first headline? An almost equivalent solution for him would be to add
a headline before that text and append it an :export: tag. But in that
case, he will get the additional headline in the output, which isn't
desirable. IOW, it is easier to make that text disappear than to make it
appear.

IOW, even though the new behaviour is more logical, in the end, I'm not
sure it is desirable. It's the old "good" versus "best" story.

WDYT?
