LibreOffice's compatibility option (ODF AddParaTableSpacingAtStart, Word's w:suppressSpBfAfterPgBrk read the other way round). Off, the block that opens a page loses its space above however the page broke — probed by flipping the flag in one 63-page document, whose chapter heading then moved from 25.4mm to 20.0mm, which is where the editor had been drawing every one of them. On is the default both products write, and both formats carry the flag back out. Fixture 244 → 160.
