Those two tricks usually work for me, too, but not always -- at least
not when using custom paragraph styles linked with custom list styles.

Jean and Andrew,
A rework of list attributes was done in Issue 85347, which went into
v3.0 somewhere. A bug-fix to it, Issue 93873, is new in m7 (RC2).
Neither seems directly relevant to your observed problem, but you might
try with RC2, to see if some benevolent side effect has made the problem
go away.
If the cut-and-paste method fails, you might try pasting the troublesome
text into a brand-new doc, created from the template. If the problem
still shows, you have created an instant bug-doc, so file the issue.
The developers can simply take the doc apart and look at the problem,
something which is difficult to do for us mere mortals. :-)
If the new doc looks good, then the problem is probably in the
structures of the old doc, and only something drastic will force Writer
to rebuild those. Something like pasting the whole doc into a new doc,
or a round-trip conversion, through *.pdf or *.doc formats. Of course,
those cures have their own problems, and may well not be worth the
trouble. OTOH, a quick try of these, to see if the original problem
goes away, without necessarily saving the output, might be worth the
trouble.
