LO document with "missing" page 8

I created a clean template with minimal page and paragraph styles, and page
layout as I needed.

I saved a copy of my MS as RTF and opened that in Writer, copied the front
matter pages into the clean template, then copied the body of the document into
the clean template.
(I did this to avoid days of manual work finding and identifying all italic
text to reapply that style to the requisite text spans.)
I had to manually find and fix all manual page breaks to use the template's
page styles.

At some point I noticed that page 8 was missing, as far as Writer is concerned:
if you place the cursor on each page in turn, starting from the 1st page, you
see in the bottom left of the document window the text Page N of M update, in
my case from 1 to 445; in the provided sample document, from 1 to 11.
But when you step from page 7 the next page, it does not say page 8 of...., it
says you're now on page 9.

This makes it tricky to know whether a page is a right or left page, since you
can't trust the page number displayed in the bottom line of the Writer window.
Resizing the document window and zooming so you see two pages side by side is a
workaround to address that problem.

Writer also correctly identifies Right and Left pages and uses the correct
headers.

So this bug seems to have little impact, though I'm worried that Writer has
corrupted the file has  somehow.
