This is not correct.

The automatic ToC function (and now since version 1.40 also the automated
reference function) operates using commands hidden behind Nroff comments.
A standard NROFF compiler will ignore the comments and process the ToC as
if it was manually entered. The ToC will match the document even if
compiled by a standard NROFF compiler.

Yes, but only as long page breaks aren't changed, right? That is, the 
ToC contains fixed page numbers, no?

That is a non-issue.  NRoffEdit produces the same output as the
nroff used by the RFC-Editor.

If you want to change the text, you would use NRroffEdit to do it
and update the TOC accordingly by a simple keypress or menu selection.
