Aha, I was able to repro locally.
And this is not specific to DOTX, it happens with DOCX, DOC, RTF.

And this is inevitable, because MS Word file formats have *absolutely no*
provisions to store the merge field format:

https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/field-codes-mergefield-field-7a6d24a1-68a6-4b05-8359-1dc087daf4e6

It allows to store prefix/suffix, but not the format code or anything else. The
field format is always taken from the database.
