Graeme, did you disable goFixedRowNumbering in your trial?
If not, it didn't work because of this in
TCustomStringGrid.DrawCellAutonumbering:
...
if Cells[aCol,aRow]='' then
    inherited DrawCellAutoNumbering(aCol,aRow,aRect,aValue);
...

My suggested fix is replace in Grids.pas, line 8504:
>>>
  if (goFixedRowNumbering in Options) and (aCol = 0) and (FixedCols >=
1) and (aRow >= FixedRows) then
    DrawCellAutonumbering(aCol, aRow, aRect, IntToStr(aRow - FixedRows +1));
