That would be a very unusual setup.

Same as Previous is a good choice for the index sections that are inserted
by the { INDEX } field--those sections start and end midpage within an
existing section, and you probably don't want different headings for all
but the first and last pages in that section.

I wouldn't consider it a bug to have Update Fields set them to Same as
Previous, because I wouldn't set them to anything else.  If setting them to
Same as Previous is a change from earlier behavior, it probably wasn't even
noticed by the developers.  If it was noticed, or was done intentionally,
they probably considered it a fix.
