Same behavior here : the page background image is lost when exported to DOCX.
Using LO 7.1.3.2 Community
Exporting in Word 97-2003 works much better for this.

If my memory is correct, DOCX only has a single place to store the page background. So LO takes the Default Page's background and uses that as the colour. In this multi-coloured page-styled example, the default page style is "none".  [Indeed, this is what happens for both DOC and DOCX when I change the default page style (even though it is unused) to a blue background. The entire DOCX becomes blue.]
Comment 7 Justin L 2021-05-26 05:32:57 UTC 
Confirmed with Word 2016 - in page Properties, there is no ability to set shading for a section. It only applies to text or paragraph.

Also confirmed that if I use LO to set a section colour, the colour is lost on DOC and DOCX export - which just re-confirms that those formats don't have an option for section shading.  NOTABUG.
