Here's the results of some further investigation.

At offset 0 in the PicturesTable there is actually an EMF of the embedded 
object.

  run.getPicOffset() => 1248525022

There is a directory in the OLE2 filesystem under ObjectPool 
called "_1248525022", matching this number perfectly.

So it seems to be pretty easy conceptually for Word format to find the 
embedded objects, but what I find odd is that the pic offset points to the 
object, not the obj offset... almost like some Microsoft engineer screwed up 
once and then all future versions had to implement the same bug to maintain 
compatibility.
