Bruce, I'm not clear this is a bug. Did you check the Frame Wrap settings?
Notice that there is more that happens when frames are allow to float the way
they are and the Frame Wrap is set to Parallel?

I was able to replicate this bug on a Windows 10 machine with OpenOffice Writer
4.2.0 (the version above is 4.1.2). Here are the steps I followed:
1. Open attached 'Example document'
2. Change the Page Margin to 'Narrow'
3. See the overlapping/cramming of the pages (see attached doc 'Example
document showing bug'
I tried to create my own OpenOffice Writer document with more text, different
formatting and by anchoring/wrapping frames and text together, but was unable
to recreate the bug.
I also tried to create a Word doc to match the attached Example document to
test the bug using Word, but was not able to replicate it either. In my
opinion, it appears as if this bug would be considered low severity and
priority as it would not happen too often in the field. However, I do feel
that it should get resolved in a timely manner to contain a higher quality
product for the users.

This same behavior can also be replicated using the following steps:
1. Open the attachment named "Example document" (second attachment from the
top, after "After the bug is experienced").
2. Notice how wide each of the words "TEXT" are (about 1/2 inch).
3. Click on an edge of the second frame so that you can resize it.
4. Resize the second frame such that it is over 1/2 inch narrower
(horizontally).
5. Observe the second frame being crammed onto the first page.
Here, I have replicated this behavior without modifying the margins. Hence,
changing the margins from Normal to Narrow is not the cause of the second frame
being crammed onto the first page. What matters here is that the second frame
fits within the margins alongside the other text on the first page. Meanwhile,
continuing from step 5, I can cause the second frame to move back to the second
page by modifying the text slightly, then when I undo that modification the
frame stays on the second page. That is, I follow these steps (continuing from
step 5):
6. Place your cursor in one of the occurrences of the word "TEXT".
7. Add characters to that word. (For example, change the word from "TEXT" to
"TEXTTEXTTEXTTEXT".)
8. Observe that as soon as the word is too long to fit next to the second
frame, the second frame moves down to the second page.
9. Press Ctrl+Z to undo the changes you made in step 7. The word you modified
should have been changed back to "TEXT".
10. Notice that the second frame is still on the second page.
If you'd like to move the second frame back to the first page (continuing from
step 10):
11. Place your cursor next to one of the occurrences of the word "TEXT".
12. Press Enter. The frame will be moved up again.
Modifying the margins should not be the concern here. What should be the
concern is that the second frame behaves inconsistently depending on a previous
state of the document, even if all the other content in the current state is
the same.

It looks like an anchor got moved or isn't where you think but doesn't have
this effect until the width is changed.
If that doesn't clear it up, upload the Resume document (presumably an .odt?)
so we can see what is going on more closely.
Did you try making an explicit break between the two pages?
Also, do you really need text fields? The document doesn't seem so complicated
that it needs anything so elaborate.

I was able to replicate this bug on a windows 10 PC. Open Office version 4.2.1
After doing some follow-up tests i found out that this bug occurs on some under
1" values of left/right margins, not all values. For instance, if you have both
left and right margins set to 0.8" the bug will not occur.
Also, if you have the right margin to < 0.2 this bug will occur even if the
left margin is set to > 1" (even 10")

Steps to reproduce:
1. Open the example document (attached) in OpenOffice Writer.
2. Click Margins, and then select Narrow. Note that the second frame in the
document moves to the first page and overlays the first frame.
3. Click Margins again, and then select Normal. Note that the second frame
returns to its original location.
See the attached screencast for a demonstration.

I was able to replicate this bug with the attached example document and
following the outlines recreation steps. To further assist with
troubleshooting this bug, Aza, can you please provide the original 2 page
resume document that you were using when the error occurred...even if you have
to change some data for security purposes, this would really help to run some
follow-up tests and narrow down the true issue within the program.

I examined the Example document, Attachment 85397. I notice that both frames
are have Frame Wrap setting to Parallel.
If I change both of them to Wrap Settings None, the frames go onto the separate
pages as necessary, and the text outside of frames stays separated too.
