I don't like the use of hover in this place. I don't think, that an essential element for user interaction should be hidden from the user.
If I were an experienced user I would expect the old behavior when I click on "edit", instead of this another link popps up that sais "edit source" and disturbs me.
My solution would be moving the [ edit | edit source ] thingy to the right. That would reduce the clutter in the headings.

The team rejected static [edit] [edit source] source, I think reasonably, because of too much clutter in the section headings.
I *still* think this would be the best solution. Come on, it's not that cluttering, and it would be a known interface for more experienced editors (some gadgets do similar things).
Maybe an A/B test comparing current design to this could be run? I had previously implemented this, the abandoned patch is still sitting somewhere in gerrit and could be revived.
