It inserts a dynamic date instead of a fixed date
Unconfirmed with v5.1.5.1 under windows 7 x64. Fixed date stays fixed. Maybe you wanna try a newer version and let us know if it's fixed or not....
I can't reproduce it, either (LibreOffice 5.1.4.2 / Windows 7), I tested with changing the system date manually. Could you upload a minimal example with a fixed date? Then we could easily see days later what happens with the date field.
Someone just commented this in a different bug: https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63535#c7 It seems the fixed date becomes just date when saved in DOC, then if saved back to ODT, it won't be fixed. I can confirm this part of the bug. However if you keep ODT format, the date remains fixed for me. What was the process you saved to DOC and ODT?
Some additional experience with DOCX format: "I tried again with two new documents in .docx (WW 2017-2013 and Open XML). It is was almost good, but French date month is converted to English : "21 juillet 2016" come back to "21 July 2016" in "Date (fixed)"." https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63535#c11
This is a weekly report kept for a year. It has been around for years. Every year I delete all but one page, delete the weekly data, leave the headings and insert the new date. It is then saved in both the .DOC and .ODT format (I got zapped by ransomware so I use .DOC for aharing and .ODT in hopes that if it happens again it won't zap that). I will create two new documents one .Doc one .ODT wait a day or two see what happens and then cross save to see what happens. I'll report back next week.
Setting to NEW, as the issue has been reproduced. So there are two, closely related issues: -fixed date is not fixed anymore when exported to DOC, -fixed date can come back in different language when exported to DOCX.

Am I missing something? Can someone share a DOC created with pre-5.0 that shows a working fixed date field?
I checked what's possible in Word, and it appears Word inserts fixed dates as a piece of text, and nothing else. Perhaps it's just an unsupported type in DOC formats. However, in that case possibly the old behavior was the correct one, which turned fixed dates into a piece of text - the fieldness is removed, but the date remains fixed.

Saving a test document to DOCX results in correct roundtrip (wrt this specific issue that is about const-ness of fields); Word also opens the generated DOCX with fields in it, having const values. Then, you can save the DOCX to DOC using Word, and get a DOC with const fields - so the DOC format supports the const date/time fields. But opening the resulting DOC (generated by Word) using LO gives non-const date/time fields - so it's at least import filter issue.
