Behaviour of "suppress final separator" feature with custom after separator

Follow on to AskLO question

When using the "Number" option of cross-reference to a numbered paragraph
(heading or list item), Writer suppresses one U+002E FULL STOP if it appears as
the last character in After separator of the list style definition.

This is satisfactory in the vast majority of cases where numbering is of the
form "1." and the cross-reference will be "See step 2 in the previous
procedure" to point to item "2. Second step".

It does not work if author chooses another After separator the a full stop.

But authors expect the final separator to be suppressed, be it multi-character
or different from full stop. In other words, when the reference is inserted,
the list style definition (this includes Format>Bullets & Numbering in case a
real list style is not used but this may be more complicated due to its
"polymorphism") should be queried to retrieve the effective After separator for
this level.

See present behaviour in attached sample file
