What occurs to me, since the styles being referred to are heading styles, is
some sort of cross-reference to the page numbers being evaluated in a
conditional field. This could work to at least eliminate heading 2 text from
a previous page going under a heading 1 from this page. Wouldn't help,
though, with a heading 2, heading 1 on the same page.

Unlikely... At least, it won't be me.
For unconventional headers like this (previous chapter heading rather than
the one that's on the page), your textbox solution is a fine work-around.
