--- Comment #9 from Luke Deller <luke at deller.id.au> ---
Microsoft Word does not actually support the concept of setting a border on a
header/footer.

If instead you set the border on the paragraph within the header, rather than
on the header itself, then this comes through fine into doc or docx format.

The same feature mismatch applies to background fill colour which can be set on
the header/footer in LibreOffice but not in Microsoft Word.

To resolve this issue, perhaps we could try to convert these header/footer
properties into paragraph properties (or table properties etc) automatically
when saving to Microsoft Word formats.  This could give the expected result in
most common cases, though it would still fail in harder cases e.g. see how hard
it is in Word to put a border around multiple paragraphs which include a
bulleted list:
