Writer doc. showing problem with text flow around an image/frame

Version: 6.4.2.2 (x64)
Build ID: 4e471d8c02c9c90f512f7f9ead8875b57fcb1ec3
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: default; VCL: win; 
Locale: en-GB (en_GB); UI-Language: en-GB
Calc: threaded

1. Open the attached file. Observe pp. 2 and 6.

2. Note that "Frame/Image > Wrap > Top/Bottom" has been made large enough to reserve the whole page for the Frame/Image.

EXPECTED RESULT: Paragraph text should flow AROUND the Image/Frame page.

ACTUAL RESULT:  Paragraph text is not flowing around the Frame/Image correctly. Instead the whole paragraph block is being moved to the page AFTER the Frame/Image. NOTE: Ticking the Orphans box restores the correct flow.

The critical conditions for this behaviour are:

1. In "Paragraph style > Text Flow," Orphans is unticked, Widows is ticked.
2. In "Frame/Image > Wrap", Top/Bottom should be set so that Paragraph text cannot fit onto the same page as the Image/Frame and therefore, has to flow around it.

Just for clarification: Page 2 and 6 looks as expected, but problem is blank space on page 1 and 5, correct?

That's correct.

And if you open the "Default (Paragraph) Style" dialog and, on the "Text Foow" tab, tick "Orphan Control", the problem will self-correct.

P.S. I forgot to mention in the opening post that this problem only seems to affect images/frames where the ANCHOR is set "To page."

Simplified document

I confirm it with

Version: 7.0.0.0.alpha1+ (x64)
Build ID: 99c337d1d3831ce9d2c7dc1cbff713f4ac49d6ac
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 18363; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win; 
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

Steps to reproduce:

1. Open attached document.
2. See text on page 1 covers the whole page
3. Mark image on page 2 => Properties => Wrap => Change spacing bottom to 6,3 cm

Result: Blank space on page 1
Expected result: No change on page 1
