The *literal* title is ‘28.1.1998’. But the fact that the date formatting isn’t
applied to the merge field is what this bug is all about. The ‘merge field’ has
a date format option applied, which specifies that it should be formatted as
‘\@ "dd.MM.yyyy"’ (i.e., with a leading zero for the month part). But this
isn’t taken into account when LibreOffice imports the document.

In Word 6, in which the document was created, the title is is displayed as
‘28.01.1998’. And I just tested this in Word 2016, and it’s displayed as
‘28.01.1998’ there too.
