See SaveOlePropertySet and LoadOlePropertySet in
sfx2/source/doc/docinf.cxx, we have the infrastructure in theory to save
and load the custom properties to the DocumentSummaryInformation stream.
So it may be simply a matter of seeing why the custom properties aren't
being sent to disk or why they're not in the propertyset (or excluded
from it by some rule) or why that method isn't called.
