Well, that may provide a "dictionary definition" of what a compound document
is, but it doesn't change the fact that what the user perceives here is
"garbage."

In particular, when the empty CSV file is opened and "Text CSV" is selected as
the type for it when prompted, the spreadsheet opens with a row of nonsense,
non-ASCII characters in it. If that's the "compound document" meta-data, then
LibreOffice is interpreting said metadata incorrectly.

And then if you use Save As... to save the file immediately after it is opened,
the saved file has all sorts of garbage in it, instead of it simply being an
empty plain-text CSV.

So while the root cause of the issue may very well be that Microsoft compound
document code is somehow being executed when it shouldn't be, the fact remains
that from the point of view of the end user, there is in fact garbage in the
file that shouldn't be there.
