I tried to reproduce this bug today. Using LibreOffice 3.5.3.2, German UI,
running on MacOS X 10.6.8, I created a similar document (according to the
sparse information given in Summary and original description) with 24 pages and
a single endnote, and will attach it to this bug report for easier reference.
Finally, I found that most probably there is NO bug here at all, but IMHO a
simple misunderstanding.

If you add headers and footers to a simple document, they are added to the
'Default' pagestyle. But if you create an endnote, it is placed on a new page
at the end of the document which has the 'Endnote' page style. For the
'Endnote' page style, the header is empty by default (and there is no footer by
default). If you want to have the same headers and footers on the endnote
page(s), just go to the page(s) where the endnotes are placed, enable header
and footer and add the same header and footer texts as on the other pages of
your document. Then the pages with the text of your endnotes will just look
like the other pages of the document.

So IMHO this is no but at all, but a simple misunderstanding. Its background is
the fact that the change of the page style before the (1st) endnote is not
emphasized visually (no manual page break etc. -- why?), and therefore the user
can easily overlook that the page style has changed and that he must add
headers and footers again. Maybe we could improve the visual experience of
endnotes handling a bit ...

I close this bug as RESOLVED/NOTABUG. If my explanation of the problem is
wrong, and if there is a real bug here, feel free to re-open this bug, but then
please add a long and helpful description explaining what exactly goes wrong
and why this is really a bug ;-).
