As there are indeed side effects I'll remove that options.
I hope you mean that you change the default back to the old behaviour and the dummy text can be activated using the tracker.
Asking for a number of an unnumbered section is weird anyway.
Sure, it doesn't make sense. But it happens if the style changes halfway during production. In my case I had to change the \in to \about for the unnumbered sections. Since I couldn't find a regular expression for that, I had to change it manually and forgot a few. If a dummy text is printed, it's easy to grep for that. Marco
