A sanitized DOCX that has a page break in Word

This document (a sanitized minimal reproducer which shows a problem of a
real-life document) has a page break between its two paragraphs when open with
Word. LibreOffice doesn't import the page break, showing both paragraphs on one
page.

The reason is that LibreOffice rightfully doesn't accept <w:br> element as a
child of <w:body>.

ECMA-376-1:2016 17.3.3.1 describes br as element of a run content,
and points to CT_Br in §A.1.
CT_Br may appear only as part of EG_RunInnerContent.
In turn, EG_RunInnerContent may appear only inside CT_R.

So, using <w:br> outside of <w:r> produces ill-formed OOXML.
Open XML SDK 2.5 Productivity Tool for Microsoft Office confirms that,
showing OpenXmlUnknownElement error.
However, Word accepts it as direct child of <w:body>. Another Word bug
that provokes third-parties to create ill-formed real-life documents,
and requires LibreOffice to be bug-to-bug compatible.
