I suspect someone will argue that one should just change their work flow so that
all the text is completed first, and then figures are added later.  I can tell
you that this doesn't work either.

Let's say that you have completed all of your text, and you've reserved one page
at the top for a List of Figures, which you plan to generate using Writer's
"Index/Table" feature.  You then paste in all of your figures, page-anchoring
them so that they can be positioned just right.  Finally, you generate your
Index of figures.  If you have a lot of figures, the index will be longer than
one page.  It will overflow onto a second page, changing the position of all the
figure relative to the text.  If you have chapter breaks, it may move figures to
different chapters, so that their numbers are wrong, too (e.g. Figure 4.22 may
turn into figure 5.1)

There is no workaround that I can think of besides manually repositioning all
the figures.  This kind of iterative process is needlessly time-consuming.
