The problem is that those files *are* broken, so it would be a bug to open them
without an additional user action. m74 has a bug that it doesn't open documents
that are not detected, m76 will show a filter dialog where you can force OOo to
load the document. This might appear inconvenient but IMHO it's the appropriate
way to treat the documents. Just saving them once after loading fixes the
problem.
It was necessary to make this move because it is the only way to detect
documents reliably. Otherwise loading documents without or with a "wrong"
extension can't work.
If we accept documents like the attached one any zip file would be accepted as a
valid OOo document.
I wasn't aware that a broken tool is used outside to create OOo documents and
I'm still not convinced that we should lower the quality of our type detection.
So I set it to "WontFix". Of course that doesn't mean I can't become convinced
to change something if it doesn't make our type detection less reliable. :-)
m76 should load those documents, but not without a filter dialog.
