I must be doing something wrong because I can "reproduce" this directly from
the unaltered docprot.docx using Office 2013, 2010 and 2003.
1.) Open the original attachment and toggle the value in the dropdown.
2.) Review tab - Restrict Editing - Stop Protection. see that the dropdown is
now missing.  Double-clicking on the field brings up a "Drop-Down form field
options dialog, so it appears to be in developer/design mode.

Everything seems identical to me when doing this on round-tripped files by
6.1.5, 6.2.2, and master.  I can toggle the value initially, and when switching
into unprotected mode, the document is in form design mode.  (Note, 2013 is the
first version that initially opens into a read-only mode where you have to
start with View-Edit Document.)

Tested using Windows 7 for Office, and Linux for LibreOffice round-tripping.
