Hi Jeff,
thanks for bringing up this issue, and thanks all for the input.
I pushed three small changes to the org-refile interface:
1. before prompting the user for a refile target, put the point at the
beginning of the region/subtree to refile. This will make sure
everyone understands we are refiling headlines, not text.
2. Improve the prompt itself, explicitely saying whether we are refiling
a subtree or a region (containing subtree(s)).
3. Add a new option `org-refile-active-region-within-subtree' which,
when turned on, allows the user to refile the active region, turning
the first line into a headline using `org-toggle-heading'.
I think these are improvements going in the right direction -- let me
know what you think. On the overall, I'm with Nicolas in thinking that
we need to be extra careful when we try to extend a functionality to
heterogeneous elements.

This is what I tried to achieve with the new option.

Thanks for this idea!
