Sounds like a bug. Please create an issue on the tracker with this information.

Whoa there for a minute. I just read your report more carefully.

So you are trying to change the text in the heading, but also trying to keep the existing HTML inside the heading tag? I'm sorry, that's just not possible. How would an algorithm know which parts of the new text should go into which of the old <span> tags? Can't be done, I'm sorry. Changing the heading text in the TOC editor will rewrite the contents of that heading tag.

You should just add a space in the Code View if you want to preserve the child elements.
