Not the index is auto generated but the index entries!

The attached concordance file makes me think that.

As above: Not the index but the entries are removed when a new index is
created. That's the idea behind the concordance file.

The idea of using a concordance file is to make sure the usually used
technical/scientific/... terms are marked automatically so that you don't need
to do the work manually for each document you create. While editing the
document some of the related text might be removed others might be added so it
makes sense to create the automatic index entries again. To do that you need to
know which of the index entries were automatically created - otherwise you
would also delete manually created entries.

To make a long story short: The standard is missing a feature that has been
introduced in Writer before it became open source.
