With a page style applied, click on the footer, insert a pagenumber
field and save the document.  The resulting changes will be stored in
the styles.xml under

Do you see text:page-number down below?

  <office:master-styles>
    <style:master-page style:name="Standard" style:page-layout-name="Mpm1">
      <style:footer>
	<text:p text:style-name="MP1"><text:page-number text:select-page="current">
        </text:page-number></text:p>
      </style:footer>
    </style:master-page>

    .................
  </office:master-styles>

Use ODT_STYLES_FILE and the newly created ott file to pick up new
header/footer configuration.
