A heading is a heading, no matter if it is part of a division or not. The same applies to moustaches I think. Let’s compare this discussion with our next favourite subject: webdesign :)

A moustache is a moustache if there is no other facial hair, as you said. But if there is a beard, then the hair above the upper lip is still a moustache. Only now, it is part of the beard. As for goatees, the mustache accompanies the goatee. In all three situations, it's still a mustache. <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-24%2CGGGL%3Aen&q=define%3A+mustache&btnG=Search" title="Define Mustache" rel="nofollow">Mustache</a>, <a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&lr=&safe=off&rls=GGGL%2CGGGL%3A2006-24%2CGGGL%3Aen&q=define%3A+goatee&btnG=Search" title="Define Goatee" rel="nofollow">Goatee</a>, supports this view. But as important as the definition of a moustache is, you're right about the cover. Nicely positioned, with the "Voices That Matter" written over the mouth.

Mustache, Goatee, supports this view.

A cropped photo, obscuring one's beard, can make it appear that one has a moustache. That's what happened here. It’s a moustache when it’s the only hair on the face.
