Terry J. Reedy added the comment:

This strikes me as an overt bug.  .add_section should add one new empty 
section, not a section with an item and a second section.  Since a section name 
cannot contain \n, I would agree that passing a string containing \n should 
raise ValueError("Section names cannot contain newlines.").  Since anything 
else without ']' is valid and since even that can be accommodated with a custom 
section name re, that is the only check that should be done.
