I guess it is simply because nobody though that the leading stars can be
hidden via fontification.

I think the whole issue can be fixed by changing the call to
org-invisible-p inside org-forward-heading-same-level. org-invisible-p
has an optional third argument to ignore text hidden via fontification.
You can try to make a patch for org-forward-heading-same-level and
similar commands adding that third argument.

Best,
Ihor
