Sorry for the late reply.  This is still a problem in Emacs 25.

I don't know if I agree that this is a problem, though. The behavior I
see with Viper (or Evil, for that matter) is confusing but not crazy. I
still see that I'm inserting something before the invisible part
(represented by "..."), and when I expand the outline, then my edit
indeed put the text before that invisible part.

Turning on global-reveal-mode by default would change the org experience
and as well, so I'm unsure that is something others would agree on.
