I am not sure what that NOTE really means. Clearly there is more to ODF
1.2 than just the schema. So there has to be something to the text.

legal in the schema sense but it clearly violates ODF 1.2 section 9.1.7:

A table shall not contain more than one <table:table-header-rows>
element, except that the table contains grouped rows defined by one or
more <table:table-row-group> 9.1.9 elements. In this case, the table and
each distinct group may contain one <table:table-header-rows> element,
if and only if the table rows contained in the <table:table-header-rows>
elements are adjacent.

In your example the table rows contained in the
<table:table-header-rows> elements are not adjacent.

If there is no meaning to that paragraph, then why is it in ODF 1.2!?
