Bahnschrift is a variable font.
It is my understanding that there is no support for variable fonts in LO.

Bahnschrift 1.00 had 5 weights, all one width.
Perhaps that worked with the previous text rendering engine set-up.
As mentioned above, this may just be a lucky accident.

Bahnschrift 2.00 has 5 weights and 3 widths.
It appears that LO is having a problem with those multiple widths.

This is not likely to be resolved until there is actual support for variable
fonts.
