I think there are two separate issues to discuss:

See attachment 201895. When I open this file in new versions of Microsoft Word,
I see the same overflow we now see in Writer. I don't have Word 2003/2010
available to check, but is it possible that Microsoft made a breaking change?
If so, do we have a community policy about which versions of Word we should
prioritize for cross-compatibility?

There is a bug here. There's something going wrong with parsing this
compatibility flag; the document shouldn't open in LO with the flag set.
