How much is imported from the headings into the ToC? I see that
the text is imported, but what else... and where does it hide?
Or where is it specified which aspects of formatting or ?? will
be part of what is imported?
I tried deleting the ToC entirely and inserting a new one (even at a new
location).
The problem persists.

The "Contents2" heading items (for example) that have the problem,
or "Contents2" heading items that don't have the problem, appear
to have identical settings in the style editor dialog.
In the chapters of my document, if I select a source "Heading 2"
that corresponds to the ToC "Contents 2" that shows the problem,
OR if I select a source "Heading 2" for a "Contents2" that
DOESN'T show the problem in the ToC, they are identical.
If I change/edit the style for one "Heading 2", it changes for
the other.
Where ELSE could a magical override of SOME "Contents2" items
in my ToC be coming from?
My imagination fails me as to how you could _deliberately_ make
this happen, so I don't know where to look for how it is
unintentionally (on my part) occurring.
The .ODT file is a little over 1MB in size.
At this point, various departments are screaming for the docs and
I am holding up the release of the product - always a good move
for one's career prospects ... or even prospects of continuing
employment (not). So I'll have to release with the ugly problem not
solved, and apologize for it in the Release Notes.
INTERESTING
For items in the ToC, there's a left-aligned tab-stop over near
the right margin, and then the right-aligned stop exactly at that
same margin for the page number.
If I drag a tab-stop slightly to the left (one character space),
the problem goes away FOR THAT ENTRY.
The page number associated with that entry comes up two lines
and lands in its proper spot over near the right margin.
Obviously I'm not going to do that for the document because:
a) there are dozens of them
b) the problem comes back instantly, next time I generate the ToC
c) the stops (both kinds) are in IDENTICAL positions for the NON-PROBLEM
entries.
Yes, this document came from Word, originally.
ALSO INTERESTING
The problem does not affect Contents 3 items. Only Contents 2 and Contents 1.
If I simply CLICK in the top ruler, which adds a left-aligned tab stop
at the place I click, then the page number jumps up to its correct
position at the end of the line following the heading text (though
without the "....." leader dots. This is WITHOUT disturbing the left
and right tab stops that already existed over by the right margin.
DID I MENTION...
That the Paragraph Style dialog for the broken ToC entries has a
right-aligned tab-stop defined (for the page number) but DOES NOT
have an explicit left-aligned tab-stop defined, yet there's a
left-aligned tab marker visible in every ToC entry.
Before discovering that, I thought I was going to outfox this
problem by simply deleting/removing the entry that specified the
problematic tab-stop, but apparently that one is specified somewhere
in an alternate universe and then channeled to my ToC by invisible
means. Cool, I suppose, but not useful.
