Could confirm the buggy behavior with LO 7.5.2.2 on OpenSUSE 15.4 64bit rpm Linux.

Note: It is a little bit tricky to download a password protected *.pdf. You have to use right mouse click and then menue → download.

Just for the record, the pdf file you attached uses the algorithm version 4, LO knows only how to deal with algo 1 and 2 so for the moment, your only choice is indeed to use something else than LO to open your pdf file.
