RTF doc made with Microsoft Word with a bookmark and a formula that uses the bookmark

On LibreOffice Writer I have a simple formula: =subtotal
where subtotal is a bookmarked table cell.
When I click on the cell the formula changes to zero.

To Reproduce:
- Load the attached RTF doc (made in Microsoft Word)
- Notice document has two table cells with "100"
- First is bookmarked as subtotal
- Second is a simple formula of =subtotal
- Click on the first cell
- The second cell changes to "0"

What should happen:
- The second cell should not change from this action

I confirm it with

Version: 7.3.0.0.alpha0+ (x64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: b733ccad171e6def8fbdb93f31875dfdea47bdc6
CPU threads: 4; OS: Windows 10.0 Build 19043; UI render: Skia/Raster; VCL: win
Locale: de-DE (de_DE); UI: en-GB
Calc: CL

You can click in any cell to get that result. Same result, if you delete bookmark.

Dave, a rtf file without bookmarks works as exepcted?

In my experience RTF files load fine into LibreOffice.
I am going to do more tests with formulas.  Of course, lots of formulas reference bookmarks.  Its like referencing another cell in a spreadsheet so if bookmarks don't work basically formulas don't work.
