Unfortunately, nothing ever came of it -- the usual problem of
insufficient time among those who were interested.
Isn't it rather because the discrepancies are small enough for most
tasks and/or only require relatively painless workarounds ?
As a translator I systematically work with OOo and OmegaT, check the
OOo file and only then convert and deliver without doing much final
checking on the Word file. Most problems are already documented bugs
for which I have found workarounds (like tables in tables cells in
Word/Writer) and I have yet to hear a complaint from a customer.
