I may do that later, but do not want to now for two reasons. First,
I have not tested your fix above. Second, A bug report should
include the problem file so developers can reproduce the problem,
but the file is a draft of an unpublished paper. I would happily
give it to a specific developer, but I definitely do not want to
post it publicly

Yes. I'll do save-as HTML from LO, clean that up some with
vi, then return to LO and fix the format.
