But even odder was that after I fixed a few headings like this, the problem disappeared for all of them.
Thoughts?
My guess is that you had inadvertently formatted the "lost" SEQ field as hidden. (There is a built-in keyboard shortcut, Ctrl+Shift+H, which you may have pressed by mistake.) Pressing Ctrl+SpaceBar reverts to the character formatting in the underlying paragraph style.
