I've forgot the text:level attribute.
Correct conversion should be:
<text:numbered-paragraph text:style-name="L1" text:level="1" 
text:list-id="myList1"
    Main Chapter
</text:numbered-paragraph>
<text:numbered-paragraph text:style-name="L2" text:level="2" 
text:list-id="myList1"
    Foo
</text:numbered-paragraph>

The intentation of introducing the new attribute text:list-id is to 
group numbered-paragraphs using different list styles together into one 
list.

Ok.
