document from MSWord with picture looks different in Writer

In attachment is document in format .doc that looks different in Word and in Writer. Also there is screenshot of document itself. Text on right of picture is placed different.

Source of problem: Writer count begining of paragraph exactly from right edge of picture. And MSword from left edge of page, but slightly moves paragraph to right. The same behaves Word 2003 and Word 2007.

reproducible with LO 3.6.4.3. (Win7 Home, 64bit)

The file looks different in LO and Word 2007:
The tabs are different and the image has a frame as shown in the attachment.

document with indents after image

The paragraphs starting with the numbers have indents of 3.75 cm before text and 1.27 cm first line.  Writer applies both after the image.  In MS Word Viewer, the first line indent is applied after the image but not the before text indent.  Maybe it is a bug in Word with it either failing to apply the before text indent or applying first line indent when it should not.

In the attachment, which is odt, if you move the image with the right arrow key, there is a point where the text (starts with “10”) no longer indents after the image because the left side of the image is now past the before text indent.  If you move the image some more then the second line of text will wrap to the left side of the image and the first line will not be indented even though the image is 4.85 cm from the left and the total for the first line indent is 5.00 cm but that could be because it is already applying the indent on the left side of the image and the 1.25 cm first line indent is occupied by the image.

I do not know whether or not Writer should ignore indents if an object occupies the space on the page before the text that is greater than the indent.
