That is not a bug. That is a feature.

What you call "non-numbered section" (I guess they are section*,
subsection*, etc.) are considered physical markup. That means they
change the layout of the enclosed text, but they do not associate
meaning to that text. Not associating meaning means (among other
things) that the table of contents and page headers are not affected
by this markup.

If you want logically significant non-numbered sections, you need to
define your own markup. And maybe call them "u-section",
"u-subsection", etc. (just a suggestion). At the moment I do not think
the package system allows out-of-the-box to mix several sectioning
styles in the same document, but it should not be very difficult to
define a package for your specific needs.

Unless we have an example document which demonstrates your problem
(and a description of what would be the expected result) we cannot
help much.

That is always a bad idea to postpone technical issues... That is
called risk management. Generally technical issues (esp. those you do
not fully understand) are high risk, and thus should be done first.

I will do what I can to help.

TeXmacs is NOT a LaTeX front-end and is unrelated to emacs.
