Two lines take more space than one; this _is_ a serious issue of course at the beginning of a node we have a lot of vertical whitespace and vertically oversized lines. The unhidden node line only takes up space until you scroll down in the buffer. By contrast, the header line takes up space all the time. If space is the concern, we should try to get rid of the header line. . For the innocent user the doubled text looks like an error (he will not know every line serves its own purpose) and once told about it he might think Emacs is strange... Getting rid of the header line would solve that too. Maybe getting rid of the header line is an improvement all around.
