--- Comment #2 from Justin L <jluth at mail.com> ---
The big difference is that two page styles are involved in import. The first
header moves into a separate page style for DOCX (not DOC since 4.1). So not
really a bug since emulation provides the same look as the original document.

This was a good exercise for me to go through - to review the order of support
for separate first header/footer.

-3.5 (Dec 2011): already had left/right headers and footers, but no first page.
So the whole idea of a "next page style" looks like the original concept of
LibreOffice. The other stuff (first/left/right headers/footers) was probably
added for compatibility with MSWord purposes. At this point, both DOC and DOCX
successfully emulate this kind of file on import as a First Page / Default
page-style combination.

-4.0 UI for first page header/footer added with

        import different first page header/footer from doc

        export different first page header/footer to doc/docx

So, it looks like DOCX was never modified to use the new capability of a
separate first page header/footer. So I think this is a legitimate enhancement
report - although it is a rather dangerous area to mess around in. But it is
also a fairly problematic area, so there should be lots of unit tests related
to this to help catch re-implementation errors.
