The current behavior is intended (I think so), and I do not want to have that
changed, even if other text processors do that in an other way.

Our / my logic: The margin is the distance between contents and paper border.
Header / Footer are parts of the (printed) document contents; to me it seems
absolutely consequent that also the header has to respect the distance to the
paper sheet border. 

There is no benefit if you add a heading without touching text body contents in
the page, and the printer will cut away the heading ;-)

I believe the current help text is misleading, I filed a report for that:
Bug 35993 - WIKIHELP: Wrong description for Header / Footer place.

I see that WONTFIX, but may be lots of users will protest here?

@Zsolt:
Thank you for your patience.
