This is how inheritance works so there is nothing wrong with this behaviour.

New documents start with a paragraph that has not being assigned to a paragraph
style, which is why it appears as if it is assigned to the 'Default' paragraph
style. Similarly when no character style is applied to text, it appears as if
it is assigned to the 'Default' character style.

It is the normal with all word processors to not assign a paragraph style to a
new blank document.

No i dont think this change would break existing documents, as users could
easily create a default template which had text body as the default, the
interoperability issue i was mentioning was about other apps not using 'text
body' as default and not assigning 'text body' after headings which results in
different behaviours in LO when working with documents created outside of LO
and those created inside LO.
