Notice that OpenOffice is at fault here and not latex2rtf.
By default, latex2rtf uses EQ field codes for translating math constructs
(see http://office.microsoft.com/en-gb/word/HP051861481033.aspx)
but OpenOffice is not able to interpret them.

Your example works perfectly when I open the produced rtf in Word.
Maybe you could file an enhancement request to the OO people.
