forum-mso-en-2596min2.docx: minimized example
This file has never worked properly, but it became worse in 25.8.0. Now the
content of the last paragraph from the A1 cell is being moved (split actually)
into the top of the next cell (B1) along with its numbering property (which
throws the numbering off completely in the original forum-mso-en-2596.docx)!
The problem is related to the multi-paragraph reference field at the start of
cell B1. By delaying the paragraph, TableManager was no longer getting the
"next paragraph" cursor change, so it was trying to start the new cell at the
last known position (the end of A1). Since that position was used for both
cells A1 and B1, it called splitNode.
The delayed creation of the multi-paragraph field (backported to 25.8) came
from

tdf#166940 sw: defer line break in ref field
Reviewed-on: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/c/core/+/186008
AFAICS the patch itself is fine; it just used an existing mechanism that was
somewhat flawed.
Steps to reproduce:
1.) open forum-mso-en-2596min2.docx in LO.
Cell A1 should contain "1 Xyz", and cell B1 should start with "Issue 1".
