Yes, because it is based on per-paragraph counters. I can get section
counters work also correctly for per-buffer counters, but only if I 
modify updateCounters.

That's a long and blood-dripping tale, full of murder (the victim being
whoever wrote the paragraph/text/buffer stuff, and the perpetrator me). 
I have been able to get the figure floats counting, but not to reset them 
only at the start of the buffer and nowhere else. It's a nightmare :-/

But feel free to try for yourself. The patch posted below (other mail) is 
a good starting point.
