Unfortunately, this was not the case for me: On Arch Linux x86_64 with
libreoffice-kde4 package installed, when I type a filename with .doc extension
the file type changes to "Microsoft Word 6.0 (.doc)".

I strongly disagree. If Word 6 exists as an export format, it should not be
dangerous to use! This bug implies a data loss when a document is saved in Word
6 format, which is, in my opinion, unacceptable. If you can't support it, just
drop it altogether.
