At first, I was against that empty paragraph. Now I think it's better 
solution then just changing border attribute (for reason you mentioned 
at the very end).

I guess the cache is that 'Horizontal rule' style is within the same 
category as any other paragraph style so LO can't make difference 
weather you wanted to apply style 'Horizontal rule' to selected text or 
you just wanted to insert a horizontal rule in a new paragraph below 
selected one.

It doesn't work how we conceptualize it, but then again - it working as 
designed (it's not broken or a bug).

I guess it's just the way it is...
