I hate to be a bother here, but I'm up against a publication deadline.
If I can't find another solution then I'm left with recreating a
multi-page TOC by hand. Ack.

Can anybody even tell me if they can reproduce this issue? Just export
to PDF any document with an auto-generated TOC and see if the links are
in reverse Z-order when viewed in Adobe Reader. If not, then I'd love to
discover what the difference is between our systems. Otherwise, I would
call this a bug...
