Repro in 6.1+ and 3.6.5. Looks like regression from LO 3.6.

Yes, not yet seen in LibreOffice 3.5.0rc3 so should be bibisectable.

But that regression date is from Thu Feb 6 13:58:03 2014 +0530

3.6.5 was in 2013: https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan/3.6#3.6.5_release

Bibisected to the following range using bibisect-43all:

fdo#57708 fix fake page break problem during RTF import
The core of this change is: so far the continous section break at the
end of the document was sent as a normal section break. This was
introduced in commit 892d33c8d5033b4f8f7889bf91d257f55adf0e1f, probably
as a workaround (sadly it's not documented and I no longer remember).
Don't do this, since it causes additional page breaks during import.
Instead, fix properly whatever was broken after getting rid of this
workaround.

This is probably in essence the same problem as in
[Bug 116754] When saving a Writer document As RTF header text from  p.2 appears in a footnote on p.1"

I reported that as still a problem a few days ago, and the test then showed that this bug (116753) is also still a problem.
