@Ankry I pretty much figured somebody "fixed it" given the amount of time that 
had passed.

I did go through some of old notes mentioning the `<pagelist />` tag and it 
gave me some ideas on what to make note of the next time somebody comes across 
an example of this bug.

- Is there any difference in the way self-closing element tags are "handled"?

In other words; right now, the Index: page "template" places the element in the 
appropriate field like this `<pagelist/>` (no space before "/" (U+002F) 
character). Maybe the proper 'default generated' //pagelist// element should 
contain a space after the element's tag name like so: `<pagelist />` ?

- Along the same line of questioning; is there any improvement/difference 
between "forcing" 1-to-1 position assignments rather than substitute it when no 
manual changes have been made?

In other words; would it be better to have the page field of the Index: 
template pre-populated by default with `<pagelist 1=1 />` instead of the 
current default `<pagelist/>` producing the same 1-to-1 assignment in the 
absence of any User: made changes?

I'm not sure either point relates to the problem at hand but I think they are 
worth making note of in eliminating possible causes if nothing else. If anybody 
can think of any other aspects worth investigating here - please add them. Of 
course, if someone is lucky enough to check an/or contrast these points in a 
working example - please report your findings back here. TIA.
