I was able to duplicate your result. I created a new list style linked to
heading styles and clicked "New documents based on this template" (normal.
dotm). I created a new document based on normal, but though the list style
was there, the list levels were not linked to headings.

I then saved my original document with the new list style as a template.
New documents based on that template retain the list style with linked
headings. I suggest that you do something similar.

Now I realize that I never saw this behavior before because I avoid adding
numbering to normal.dot headings.

List styles are relatively new in Word. I suspect that not many people actually
make use of them, which is why where is limited experience of them.

Have you also tested adding both the list style and the linked paragraph styles
to the template? Does that work better?

Of course I meant to type "there," not "where."
