I repro the error. Another person tried to open the file in Excel 2013, but it refused to open. The person was able to insert it as an add-in, though.

There is an older report (closed due to insufficient data), which sounds kind of similar: bug 117320

Leaving this as unconfirmed, because I have no evidence that LibreOffice should support these files.

Also tested with 4.4.7 and 3.5.0.

Discussed in the dev chat. Adding support for the missing VBA is OK, but XLA as a format will not be supported, because these Excel addons may be implemented with many different programming languages.
