That is what I did. The pages are numbered correctly inside LO and in the printed result, and in the PDF export. However, the page counter in the PDF viewer doesn't reflect numbering styles or renumbering.

 What are you using to view the PDF?  Firefox has an in-built PDF
viewer; Adobe has the Reader and Acrobat products; there are numerous
"alternative" viewing tools, etc.

I am on Linux, so I don't have the adobe reader.
I repeat the test now: Evince, Atril, Okular, FoxitReader, firefox. All behave the same, 5 pages, counting 1 to 5.
I have a virtual machine with Windows and Adobe. Let's try. [...] It took time to try, but managed it, same result.
I hate adobe reader, it asked twice to make it the default handler for PDF. I said no when I installed it, and repeated "no" today. This is insulting.

The format supports a fair number of capabilities that aren't
typically supported in the variety of "tools" available.  For
example:

 Should display a 3D model that you can manipulate WHILE it is
being animated.

Displays an empty box or frame in a document. None of the Linux PDF readers handle Javascript, probably intentionally, it is a security problem.
