When you are generating such a custom styles file for templating
purposes, it is highly desirable that H:10 num:t be option used. This is
because the Org's odt exporter expects that the default styles file has
outline numbering turned on for all levels (Number 10 above being the
max outline levels in styles.xml)

If this assumption is violated - ie if the template file is generated
with num:nil (which is the case with the styles file circulated by you)
- then subsequently changing the

#+OPTIONS: num:t

will continue to produce the unnumbered headings contrary to the
expectations.

I believe the above restriction is not overly restrictive.

I have pushed a fix for this moment ago. Hope things are OK with your
setup.
