Performing an Update Book operation doesn't strip all formatting from
existing TOC entries, because one of the first things it does is
*delete* all TOC entries--all the paragraphs--so that it can rebuild
the TOC on the legitimate assumption that some of them have changed or
that the order or population of headings has changed. When it rebuilds
the TOC it will use the formatting that you saved as the TOC file's
paragraph catalog when you set up the formatting.
But note that importing the paragraph formats from your chapter file
to your TOC file probably will not produce the desired result because
the TOC has its own set of unique formats. For example, your chapter
files may have Heading1 and Heading2 styles, but the TOC needs to have
Heading1TOC and Heading2TOC styles. If you do not have a paragraph
catalog that has all the appropriate *TOC styles, the paragraphs that
appear when Update Book regenerates the TOC will have default
formatting, and this may be what you are seeing.

Or in other words, when you first generate a TOC, it will have a unique
set of tags with names that all end in TOC -- one for each unique
paragraph style that you included in your TOC setup. It is these
default tags that you must modify using the pgf designer to get the look
that you want; then save the TOC in order to preserve the catalog.
Note that you also have to modify the TOC flow on the reference pages if
you want to add tabs or apply character formatting, for example, by
applying colour to just the Heading1TOC page numbers. Each unique pgf
style in the TOC will have an exemplar entry in that flow, which you can
modify. Save and regenerate to see the effects of your changes.
