Thank you Fred, Ann, and Jeremy for your replies. All suggested that I review the numbering properties at the book and document levels for consistency.
Fred, however, wins the scalp on this bug with the following suggestion: "And are you remembering to execute the Update Book command to refresh all the numbering after you make any changes in the book-level numbering properties? The numbering does not update on the fly when you change the setup; you must explicitly tell FrameMaker to perform the update." D'Oh!
