Ok.  I did not see any mention of "merge field" in the original report.

Just to clarify the situation:

Double-click on the field in question (to get the "edit field" dialog). LO is
presenting a "title" (from Document properties) with no formatting.  

In effect, you are expecting or requesting that date-like strings in the title
field (in Document Properties) should be interpreted as a date.

Meanwhile, insert a "Created" field (Ctrl-F2, DocInformation tab, Created),
then 27.01.1998 is shown (double-click on that field, to see possibilities to
format how the date appears).

I will leave it to more knowledgeable persons to decide how to classify the
situation.  At best, it seems more like a doc:filter question, in terms of how
Word document properties are expressed in LO capabilities.
