This is really a buggy behavior since the start of LO, but it will never work with current Report Builder.
Reports will be build by creating tables on a page with only one default style. Style couldn't be changed.

Might be there could be added something like in Writer pages style: 
Header → Same content on first page
But this will only work for first page, because there isn't a possibility in Writer to set Footer → Same content on last Page.

I will set this bug to NEW and the version to the earliest affected "Inherited From OOo"
