Hi Paul, I tested xword in the past, but I had the same inconviniences you mention.
About the versions I tested both versions and I have found problems with uploading images too. Everything else was working fine. So I asked here http://www.mail-archive.com/users@xwiki.org/msg11450.html, but I couldn't find a solution there. Then, I created an issue. That issue is still open at http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XOFFICE-226. If you have the same issue, you can vote for it and that increase the posibility that somebody work on it. I finally ended up using this feature http://code.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Applications/OfficeImporterApplication#HHowtouseto import office documents. The tables are not exported properly, but I can live with that. Besides, I read that has some improvements on version 2.5. You should also see this http://platform.xwiki.org/xwiki/bin/view/Features/OfficeImporter#HOfficeImporterApplication. I am not sure, but I think it is the same feature that I am using with a different interface.
