I guess most any user of Word who's done what you did was surprised when
this "happend on him". It's not so surprising any more when you
understand Word's concept of sections and their properties.

A section break is named "next page", "odd page", etc., which says
something about the section _following_ the break. But the section
properties stored in the section break itself are those of the section
*preceding* the break.

And since headers are a section property -- there you go ... :-)

See for instance:
