The anchor is "_as_ character," not "_to_ character". An object anchored
"as character" will become part of the text layout, acting just like an
oversized character.
The structure of the paragraph is:
[text body paragraph...[line-break]
[frame
[list paragraph]
[list paragraph]
...
][line-break]
...after text

"As character" is a very useful type of anchoring since Writer's other
anchoring modes can be somewhat unstable and difficult to manage, as you
noticed already. I anchor things "as character" rather than "to
paragraph" wherever possible.
I thought to examine your example, to see how the frame is anchored and
possibly examine style characteristics, but it's read-only, so none of
the information is available. Any thoughts?
A 'read-only' document status in OOo is purely advisory: you can toggle
the read-only status just by clicking the "Edit File" button on the
toolbar--it's about fifth from the left and carries an icon that looks
like a pencil and paper.
Once you change to 'read-write' (i.e., normal editing mode), OOo will
treat the open document as a new copy and prompt you to save your copy
as a local file.
