Thanks for interesting archeology.  Have been trying to improve the
documentation, but will appreciate any help I can get.

>From one PoV, whether intended or not, it could look like AutoCorrect was
designed to make it easier (or to encourage) shifting over to Styles-based
document production.

This bug 90507 notes that Tools - AutoCorrect - Apply automatically changes all
Default PS to Text Body (requested or not).

[This has been documented since at least 2015, but now I have tried to clarify
the "note" about this].  

(Bug or not, this current behavior is consistent with promoting a styles-based
approach, and makes it "easy" to get rid of unstyled (default) paragraphs from
a document.)

Bug 95433 notes (and objects to) that using choosing "Apply Styles" in [T] also
changes Default PS to Text Body after Enter is used.  (but is that a bug?,
especially when user has chosen "Apply Styles"?)

In both cases, these "bugs" could be seen as features to help insure the
avoidance of unstyled paragraphs appearing in a document.

But this potentially helpful behavior "collides" with the issue in bug 59034,
namely that (many) [M] options only work with Default PS.

In short, at present, this (speculative) "helpful" behavior described in bug
90507 and bug 95433 undercuts the possibility to make post-facto
auto-correcting clean-up in a document (unless one is willing to remove all
non-default PS).
