The page break will assume the style of the following paragraph; if that's
the style the StyleRef field is picking up, there'll be no text to pick up.
Format the heading as "Page break before" instead.

I have a head(ache)er question. Why would a STYLEREF field inserted into
the
header on the first page of a four page section fail to display on the
next
two pages of that section but successfully display on the fourth page?
There
is a "hard" page break between the third and fourth pages (because I want
the heading on page four at the top of a new page), but that shouldn't
affect it, right? Any help is very much appreciated.

Thank you
