I was able to reproduce in these versions:

Version: 26.2.0.0.alpha0+ (X86_64) / LibreOffice Community
Build ID: 620(Build:0)
CPU threads: 32; OS: Windows 11 X86_64 (build 26100); UI render: Skia/Vulkan; VCL: win
Locale: en-US (en_US); UI: en-US
Calc: CL threaded

Version: 25.8.2.2 (X86_64)

Bibisected the change with linux-43all to range a44dda4b7d71f8d2b4e0cca79d732eab89588c3a...a705aec5117fe9123236ebdeb0d6f271b83f8af4

The range can be investigated with a grep command like this given in LibreOffice core repo:

git log --stat --pretty=short --graph a44dda4b7d71f8d2b4e0cca79d732eab89588c3a...a705aec5117fe9123236ebdeb0d6f271b83f8af4 | grep -B 10 -A 10 --color=always "writerfilter" | less -R

writerfilter is responsible for DOCX (and RTF) import. The only commit in the range mentioning footer is f4c24f051bc6ec4a106abef27b4e77df6a62e9fd but it's about RTF import.
