Open Office is long dead. Forked to Libre Office. Check all your styles & headings, content page etc in LO Writer. Working here for years and hundreds of conversions.

But if I try and do the save to docx thing, LO insists on making my Heading 1 (etc.) chapter titles into numbered lists, which totally messes up the epub titles.

No, it doesn't. Stop using Open Office and Check the properties of the styles, especially for headings/chapters.
Also don't use a named style of page in "Insert page break" before a heading in the style properties.
Have the Styles and Formatting List window beside the main edit window. Right click on Modify on style after clicking on a chapter head.
In Paragraph style click "Outline and Numbering" tab:
Outline level is Heading level. I use 2 rather than 1 for chapter headings.
Numbering style: None
On "Text Flow" tab for chapters or headings with a page break before:
Breaks: Tick "Insert" and Type: Page Position: Before but leave "With page style" empty.
Note any headings that should not be in the TOC/Contents page/Index, even if they make a page break, should be "Level": Text Body. You can make them look like a heading and Insert Page Break Before. Only set Heading Levels for items to be index/TOC/Contents page etc.
