Make sure you read the earlier responses carefully. I never said it wasn't a
problem because it only happens on one level.

Yes, in the past the style set a specific zero margin on ALL heading styles,
but that was fixed in 5.2 (including for level 3).

That bug/fix is completely disconnected from the reason why level 3 is causing
you trouble though. I explained why earlier, and you can unzip your document
and look at styles.xml and see that only Heading 3 has a left margin specified
(as zero). Based on the instructions in the style definition, LO is doing
exactly what it is told to do, and that is why there is no problem.

> The same thing happens on any document I create from scratch
Please do make this new example from scratch and submit it. I would actually be
surprised if you can do it. Make sure you document all the steps so that others
can reproduce it too.

The average user will never run into this situation. This only happens when a
style is changed to give it a non-default value. (And this is a perfectly
legitimate operation that some users might want to do intentionally. Everything
here is consistently following the rules of inheritance priority.)

My process is not actually complicated. 
-the user somehow specifies a setting in a style, but now wants to clear that
direct setting and inherit it from the parent style instead.
-the user presses the Reset to Parent button on the relevant tab (previous just
labelled as "Standard" I expect).

Powerful software by definition allows complicated situations.
