Ouch. I made a choice, long ago, which goes against this:

        // We recognize headers by the "numbering" property of the paragraph
        // This way, we don't rely on a particular name (breaks when renaming)
        // nor on whether the user used styles or not.
        // It even lets a user create two styles for the same level of chapter.
        if ( p->counter() && p->counter()->numbering() == KoParagCounter::NUM_CHAPTER )

What I apparently missed is the fact that people might not only want
numbered paragraphs in a Table Of Contents.

The fix for your problem is easy: the above logic (kword/contents.cc:68)
needs to be turned into
    if ( p->style() && p->style()->name().startsWith( "Head" ) )

But this isn't a good long-term solution. The above problems will happen. 
A user creating a style named "Titre 4" (french for "Head 4") will have no way
to include it in the TOC.

I think the only solution is to either
1) ask which styles to use when "Insert / Table Of Contents" is being called.
or
2) add a checkbox to the style manager, titled "Include in Table Of Contents".

OOo seems to have "Outline styles" which are separate from normal "paragraph styles",
if I read the doc correctly - this would mean something like solution 2).
How does that sound?
