After spending some time using this work-around to fudge styles, I find that it
works initially, but objects with such style are (for want of a better way to
put it) unstable: 

The anchor type (in my case, "To paragraph") remains stable, but the attributes
attached to that anchor type may change. In particular, Vertical Position, if
specified "From top" by some distance to "Paragraph text area", will change its
reference to "Page text area". [It may not be coincidental that "Page text
area" is the reference for the default anchor type, which is "To page".] 

Note that, while the distance with respect to the reference can be changed by
updating the style, the reference /type/ (the style attribute which is
unstable) cannot be changed in that way. So the work-around can be tedious as
well as unreliable.
