Created attachment 144335 [details] File to reproduce the problem Open the attached document. It has eight user defined layers, which have all possible combinations of visible/printable/locked. They are named accordingly to make the properties more obvious. The layer "VP-" is visible, printable, not locked, for example. Besides that the tab-bar shows the status of that properties. These properties can be toggled by shortcuts. visible black, not visible blue, toggle Shift printable normal, not printable underline, toggle Ctrl+Shift locked italic, not locked upright, toggle Ctrl Click on tab "V--" to make it the active layer. Rightclick > Insert Layer Name the new layer "NewV--" and set its properties to visible, not printable, not locked. OK. Notice, that the new layer is inserted after "V--" and the tab has the appearance black+underline+upright, which is correct. Save the document and reopen it. Notice, that the properties are assigned to the layers as if the new layer has been inserted at the end of the tab-bar. The error is in the saved document. I don't know yet, where in the inserting process the wrong assignment happens.
I see this error already in OOo2.4.3.
The ODF attributes draw:display and draw:protected (support was implemented in bug 101242) get the correct values on saving. But currently the settings.xml has precedence and so the wrong values are used on loading.
The SdrLayerIDSet in a view interprets its bits according the layer ID. But in file the attribute "ID" does not exists. In file the bitfield is interpreted in order of the layers in <draw:layer-set>. It is needed to reorder the bits when saving the file.

It has been pushed to "master": http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=d52c8fd4cc025ca9da474a20aa0f5514032273e2 tdf#119392 write bitfield in <draw:layer-set> order It will be available in 6.2.0. The patch should be included in the daily builds available at http://dev-builds.libreoffice.org/daily/ in the next 24-48 hours.
