This means that the filter works, but produces no output or the output is not
valid.

That's not strange at all. Your AbiWord can be using an older version of the
library, or it builds it differently (I assume libwpd is bundled with AbiWord,
just like with LibreOffice), or the problem you see is not in libwpd at all,
but in libodfgen or in the interaction with LibreOffice...

That's really weird. I could imagine libwpd (or libodfgen) being
unintentionally broken on Windows, but then it would import no documents. Is
this only a problem with libwpd import filter, or do other filters that use the
same framework fail as well? There are sample docs available in subdirs of
https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/gitweb?p=core.git;a=tree;f=writerperfect/qa/unit/data/writer;h=2e4c58626e1eac2834a9ef0c568539036f9c83a2;hb=HEAD
