Work on the  FlatXML filters occurred in January, see here for example :
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/libreoffice/2011-January/005623.html

Perhaps it is this work that is the cause of the current situation ?

David will more than likely not have had anything (I know I certainly didn't
see any associated documentation) because I doubt that it has been documented
apart from via the developer list and the repos. Remember that this occurred at
a time when there was a kind of developer frenzy free for all, and some things
were just done.

My first thought would be whether you installed the extra filters in the
optional or user customised installation because they are not installed by
default on Windows. I seem to remember they come as a selectable option, but
then maybe they didn't get built on Windows at all.

Certainly, FlatXML filters were available in OOo.
