It depends on the parent numbering tag's autonumber setting!
If the chapter number tag were just an incrementing number:
	H:<n+>
then I'd expect your layout to continue the paragraph numbers regardless of
chapter number.
However, if your chapter number tag is set to
	H:<n+>< =0>
then the placeholder (< =0> resets the counter for the figure numbers every
time a chapter number paragraph tag occurs.

Now, WHY you're not experiencing flaky behavior between the different flows,
is a mystery to me. It's my understanding that Frame numbers linearly within
a flow, and treats separately inserted text frames after it's numbered the
main body flow. But that's just working from memory of previous discussions
and probably before the Frame 5.5 release.
