Nobody assumes that the file is broken.
It has some "specifics" which unfortunately not 100% clearly documented in the
MS spec AND handled differently by different implementations.

There is no good way to differentiate an image generated by MS tools and
imported as a standalone file and by other different third party tools, with
each of them able of doing their own interpretation of the spec.

In the current situation LibreOffice need to choose which interpretation of the
spec to support. MSO sounds more reasonable than MS Paint.

If modification of this generator is an option, I could help to identify
relatively small changes in the resulting EMF required to make it more
compatible with different readers.
