When a template with a section is transcluded, the edit link(s) from the first transclusion will link back to the template. However, subsequent transclusions will link to the calling page instead. Making as many copies of the template as you need to transclude will work around this. I'm not sure why this would be; maybe some kind of cache issue?
I've verifiied that labeled section transclusion doesn't have this problem. Since that goes through the normal path to generate the links, that seems like there may be some difference in caching.
Can you provide a link to a page exhibiting the problem, and/or a sample page text?
As suspected, it was a cache issue; cached templates didn't do the normal stuff to redirect links. Fixed in r20823 Presumably, this means the cache isn't used that frequently, and may not be useful for LST, which seems even less likely to multiply transclude.
