Default Master / Subdocument section breaks and page headers

When I insert a Subdocument into a Master document, Word 2003 is inserting
continuous section breaks both before and after the subdocument. Word 2002
inserted a new page section break before, and a continuous one after. These
continuous section breaks cannot be manually changed to new page section
breaks in the Master. If the "after" one (which lives in the Subdocument) is
manually changed from within the Subdocument to a page break section break,
the Master ignores it and displays it as a continuous page break.

One evil side-effect is that when Word randomly decides to show the wrong
header or footer, you cannot fix it, because, in Print view mode (where you
can edit headers and footers), you are only shown every other header, because
there are two back-to-back continuous section breaks. In other words, when
you arrow down from header to footer to header to footer, you see that you
are going from e.g. section 13 to 15 to 17 to 19, and you simply cannot
access the even numbered ones.

Help!
