The code isn't broken. The design is.

No. Water is wet. That really is "just the way it is". I would hope 
software designers are not so fatalistic.

In this case, simply changing the menu function to add a new paragraph 
with the appropriate style and line (and a 1pt font probably) would seem 
a "better design". Hardly more than a few minutes work if you're into 
the internals.

But it's by no means the only, nor the worst, craziness in LO's 
(inherited) design.
