Test File to see Bug

When opening the attached Demo-File with MS-Word you see 2 footnates (correct).
When opening the same file with Openoffice, no Footnotes are there (wrong).
Openoffice removes both footnotes when opening this MS-Word(.doc)-File.

The removed Footnote 2 (of the attached demo-File) is inside the main-text
(where openoffice supports footnotes).
There is no valid reason, why Footnote 2 is removed by openoffice.

Footnote 1 is in a Textframe (where openoffice does not support footnotes).
I understand that this is a problem. But just deleting the footnote doesn't
seem to be the right solution for this problem!
The MS-converter solves this by moving the frame-content into the main-text.
An other solution would be to move the footnote-content inside the textframe.

As already mentioned, Footnote 2 is not in a Textframe, its at a valid
position! And still this one is removed too.

Sidenote: The fact that openoffice does not support footnotes in text-frame
should be considered as bug too (in my oppinion). Microsoft's office can do it!
Why can't oppenoffice do it?
