CONFIRMED

Indeed. Diffing the content.xml files, they look identical.

Good question. I wouldn't expect the sections and read-only settings to remain
after the conversion back to ODT, so let's mark this as an enhancement and
change Status -> NEW.

There is limited documentation about this behavior, but it doesn't explain why
retaining read-protected sections is the default:
https://help.libreoffice.org/Writer/Working_with_Master_Documents_and_Subdocuments#To_Export_a_Master_Document_as_a_LibreOffice_Text_Document

At the very least, I think it would make sense to add a warning when converting
ODM -> ODT.
