Michael Thanks for this report. This is a bug in the ODT exporter. I have checked in a fix to both hotfix-7.8.06 and master branch few minutes ago.
I am attaching a sample Org file and the ODT file generated after the the above fix. Let me know if you have questions or run into other issues. Will appreciate if you can confirm the fix.
