With all due respect to the authors of the Latex Companion and to 
Alain, this is complete rubbish. Modifying an \includeonly  statement 
in a master file is routine and doesn't compromise the integrity or 
beauty of the work.

In Lamports book it is explicitly stated that fragile commands should 
be protected when used in sectioning commands. Thus I would recommend 
to use \textit instead of \emph in section commands and be done with 
it.
