It is certainly ironic, but there is a simple explanation, namely that the
fields not only reside in a paragraph of text; they also insert paragraphs
(that is, one for each TOC/TOF entry). With field codes displayed, you only
need one paragraph mark per field:
{ TOC \o "1-3" }¶
{ TOC \c "Figure" }¶
(Of course, in practice you also need a paragraph for the TOC/TOF heading.)

The lists will be in the order in which you insert them. And always leave
at
least one empty paragraph between the TOC fields so that one doesn't get
inside another.
