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.
