The only work-around I can think of is to keep the lines of each =
paragraph together:
Format Paragraph Line and page breaks

If your paragraphs can span lots of lines, this obviously isn't a very =
good solution :-(

The developers probably had mostly paragraph styles in mind when they =
developed the styleref fields.
You could try to send feedback to Microsoft asking to fix this issue =
with character styles (by posting a suggestion in the web interface =
you're using).
