Works for me with LO 5.2.7.2 und LO 5.3.5.1 (Win 10 x64)

Repro from 4.2. to master. 
Update style is I guess available from Sidebar in 4.2, then button is available in Sidebar from 5.0. Later in 5.1. added in Style menu. 
Not related exclusively to heading, same with any style. 
Related to "insert page break before" which is not updated if single change in style, while updated if there's another change such as alignment. 
Similar behavior with New style from selection. 
So I change title from "Automatic page break not working for headings" to "Update style or New style not working for Insert page break before (except with other changes)"
Not related to OS, so All.

Note: adding a number of meta bugs that are blocked is in my view pointless and that time should be spent on testing and proper triaging of bugs; and in this case also not related to some Writer-Styles-Heading, whatever it is

So it seems page and column breaks before or after with or without page style info isnt being moved or copied to the styles.

It isnt pointless as many bugs touch more than one thing and the bug can be found in more than one location when it is relevant.

Can confirm with these steps

(a) add "Insert" page break (before or after) in Text Flow tab for a paragraph
(b) Styles>Update Selected Style  (or New Style from Selection)

Actual result:  the Insert is not updated in the paragraph's style and is not copied into a new style.

Version: 6.5.0.0.alpha0+ (x64)

Additional information:

Options (e.g., "keep with next paragraph) (also on the Text Flow tab) are updated and copied to a style).

This bug is ancient, and I could imagine it affecting other style related updates as well... could someone please look at it?!?
