How do you expect the bug fixed without example to investigate?
You can attach an example file by using https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/attachment.cgi?bugid=135782&action=enter

Of course, the document must be sanitized (see https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/QA/Bugzilla/Sanitizing_Files_Before_Submission) since all files are automatically made public in Bugzilla.

You can also give a try to 6.4.6.

Does LibreOffice handle rtf, or not?

There is no binary answer to it. LibreOffice import handles RTF, however not 100% complaint all the time.. but it could also be a rendering issue (not import). Or even something totally different..

An example file would be appreciated, we can't do much without one
