But... Here's some interesting behaviour:

If a disconnected text frame is in an anchored frame, and the paragraph 
format contains the word "figure", it will autonumber. If the paragraph 
format does not, autonumbering is independent.

If you update all the figure title paragraph formats to a new name, the 
currently linked and autonumbered paragraphs stay sequentially numbered as 
do new paragraphs in separate anchored and text frames.

However, you sometimes see bizarre behaviour such as figure titles not 
incrementing or restarting or intermittently having to change the 
numbering for the first item in a legend to <n=1> manually or by different 
paragraph tag.
