creation-date affects display of first author field

When no creation-date is specified in meta.xml, the DocInformation:Created (initial-creator) field is displayed as empty, even though it contains information. Case in point -- both attached files contain the following in content.xml:

<text:p text:style-name="OrgDocInfo"><text:initial-creator>John Doe</text:initial-creator></text:p>

They are identical in every other respect too, except that with-date-in-meta.odt contains this additional line in meta.xml:

<meta:creation-date>2022-03-01T00:00:00</meta:creation-date>

When opened in LibreOffice Writer, only with-date-in-meta.odt shows "John Doe" inside the DocInformation:Created field. In no-date-in-meta.odt, the field is displayed as empty.

For comparison, MS Office displays "John Doe" in both cases.
