Repro

Version: 7.4.0.0.alpha1+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 09822cf77cdbe32b03553cd05154100b5f2591d0

Additional information:

1.  Perhaps the spinbox should be removed for now -- or maybe permanently.

=> NeedsUXEval

Explanation:  

1. The first "problem" in OP about "only two rows"  (not checked by confirmer
in comment 1) appears to be "by design".  

2. Note that first row inserted has PS "Table Heading", while second row has PS
"Table Contents"

3.  Note that although you can enter a number manually in the spinbox, when you
change focus, e.g., to Columns, then the value in the "Heading rows" spinbox
returns to "1"  -- which probably also explains why the spinbox does not work.

4. As a test -- make first two rows with PS "Table Heading" -- and a table over
2 pages -- only the first row is repeated on the second page.

5. Ok, maybe one will expect the test to fail if the Heading Rows is only set
to "1" -- but -- afaict -- there is no option in the Table properties (or
elsewhere) that allows a user to change the number of Heading Rows.

ergo:  Either "Heading Rows" needs to take larger values and have an option in
Table properties to allow a user to change it  -- or -- the "Options" section
in the "Insert Table" should:  (a) drop "Heading rows" and its buddy, and (b)
change "Repeat heading rows..." to "Repeat heading row..."
