I wonder whether there is a one-to-one correspondence between how the
headline appears in regular text and how it appears in TOC. If it
appears numbered in regular text should it appear numbered in TOC?

TOC in ODT exporter is specified by associating an outline level
attribute with the headings. The headlines are then collected up to
certain level (with each level being associated with a given "format").

The above model for TOC generation, as LibreOffice sees it, is
incompatible with associating headlines as numbered or unnumbered in
arbitrary manner. I think headline numbering has to be evaluated in
conjunction with TOC (which is but a index entry).
