Yes James, the example you have provided above is a valid sentence. But I think
there are more instances of using double 'will' as an error than in actual
sentences. Microsoft Word does point out this as error. Write your above
sentence in MS Word.

Let's come out of will. What about double shall shall, an an, is is, if if...
the list goes on and on. In general if we type any two consecutive words same,
then MS word warns us by putting a red underline under the second word. But
LibreOffice does not do this in general. So I think it would be a good idea if
LibreOffice points out this as a warning at least  by placing a blue underline
under both the words. Yes I admit that there will be instances when we want to
write consecutive words same, but it is up to the user always whether to
correct any error or not. Isn't it ?

So I think it will be a good idea if LibreOffice warns about double words. And
I have requested to put blue underline under both the words. This is because
suppose we write shall shall and if the second shall is underlined only, then
we will look back at the second shall only and it may happen that we don't
understand what is wrong with the spelling of shall. So we may ignore the
warning. However if both words are underlined, then we will understand than the
underline is due to double typing. Then we can either correct or ignore it as
per our requirements.

And at last, yes this seems more to be a feature than a bug. You are right.
