The .odt and .docx are separate documents, of course the .docx does not 
get updated when saving the odt *g*.
A funny question, like asking for my sanity *g*.

You use a strange wording here. "did" and "any" don't match in my 
English parser, were they gone or not?

Try to reproduce it this way:
new document, type "1" in the line and hit CR, then add a manual page break.
type "2" in a line and add a manual page break.
Repeat until you reach 5.
Save the document as .odt.
Close LO.
Open the document.
Remove the page breaks (using the symbol which appears between the pages 
when you hover there).
Save as .odt.
Close LO.
Open the .odt, everything looks fine.
Do "file" "save as" "microsoft office 2007/2010 docx".
Close LO.
Open the .docx you just saved.
Your page breaks which you removed before saving as .odt are back again.

Was using: 3.5.1 during the first mail, now using 3.5.2, Win7 x64. Could 
you check again with the exact procedure I described above?
