Research direction
Start by reproducing the issue in MuseScore 4.6.1 with a multi-page score, then compare the Header and Page Numbers text-style settings with a previous MuseScore 4.x version. Trace the handling of frames for these two page elements; done means a Header frame no longer affects Page Numbers and their frame settings work independently.
