No -- for what you want you need to look at lines both above and  
below the current line to decide if the line is a folding marker. If  
TM did that, it would mean that editing a single line would in worst- 
case have to look at every other line in the document. That doesn’t  
scale.

I don’t know how much freedom you have with the POD markers, but you  
could introduce a convention, e.g. trailing space after =head2 makes  
it not a fold marker. That would then allow you to manually exclude  
the problematic folding markers.
