Although you do not save it, you have recently used it. So it gets added to the
history of recent documents--and a thumbnail view is generated and displayed on
the backing window of the Start Center in the thumbnail views panel. The same
happens for any document, ODF, OOXML, MS, etc., that LibreOffice can fully
open. That all works correctly.

The source of the thumbnail view is the same--it is regenerated when opening
any ODF document, and is only refreshed when/if document is saved.

Thumbnail views can be recorded into two locations--inside any ODF document
when it is saved, and always into the per-user configuration file holding the
recent documents list.

A thumbnail preview that is associated with an ODF document is recorded into
its zip'd archive Thumbnails folder as thumbnail.png -- but only when the
document is saved.  OOXML also have a facility to save thumbnails but I don't
believe we exploit it (e.g. in docProps as thumbnail.jpeg)--that would be in
the ww8 export filter.

A new thumbnail view is generated when any document is opened, and is
immediately added to the recent documents listing (per user in the
registrymodifications.xcu configuration file)

The thumbnail view obviously can not be written back to document formats that
don't support it. So those thumbnails will only exist with their recent
documents list entry per-user in registrymodifications.xcu.

The thumbnail view recorded into registrymodifications.xcu will be the initial
page view of any document when opened. Or--only if password protected--the
generic LibreOffice icon for the ODF type. 

Finally, if no "preview" thumbnail can be generated, the Start Center thumbnail
views panel displays the LibreOffice icon associated with the component that
can open it. A Base project for example.
