Example showing broken cross-references

The problem appeared after application of solution for somehow disturbed cross-reference dialogue (https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50139, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=50144, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=45049, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=46714, https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=47042). When creating text document with several captions, it happens from time to time, that cross references are disappearnig, showing instead 'Error: Reference source not found' message; for instance, when new caption is inserted somewhere in the middle of the document, the cross-references to other captions following to the inserted caption disappearor are misplaced. The same happens if part of the document containing captions and cross-references is copied to other document or other part of the same document.

The sample file is attached to this report. Steps to reproduce the problem:
1. open attached file and besides create blank writer file
2. in attached file select text starting from cross-references to Table 2 and Illustration 2 to the end of document
3. press Ctrl+C to copy text block
4. move to blank file and press Ctrl+V

You will see instead of cross-reference to Table 2 and Illustration 2 'Error: Reference source not found' message. If you will select the whole content and copy / paste it to blank, cross-references will survive in this case.

I guess it is quite annoing bug.
