I mean that if I use org-insert heading on an empty headline, it removes 
the space after asterisk(s). This then means that what was previously an 
empty heading (with a space), becomes just asterisk(s) no longer 
interpreted by org-mode as a heading.

I concluded that the space was removed by 
org-N-empty-lines-before-current function, where `(unless (looking-back 
"\* \n")...` prevents `org-N-...` from removing that space.

Thank you,
