This is not a 'Content Control', but a 'Check Box Form Field' from the 'Legacy Forms' category. These can only be changed in Word once the document is restricted via 'Restrict Editing', with only 'Filling in forms' allowed.

The attached document isn't restricted, so the checkbox can't be flipped in Word, neither the original, nor the roundtripped one. This is the expected behavior.
