Comment (by bikegremlin):

 Workaround that has worked for me:

 a) Write the chapter without space after the number. Like:

 1.Chapter name


 b) Press space after the number - "1." in this example.


 c) It will instantly turn into a numbered list. NOW press backspace. It
 reverts to heading - tried with several WordPress installations, it gets
 the job done.
