File demonstrating issue

Steps to Reproduce:

1. Create a new document in Microsoft Word.
2. Open "Properties" and add a new custom document property with a value starting with "<" (e.g., "<Test").
3. Save the document as a docx file.
4. Open the docx file in LibreOffice.
5. Open File->Properties.
6. The previously added property shows only as "<".


Expected behavior:

Custom document properties containing a "<" should be properly imported from docx files.


Notes:

I can only reproduce this when opening docx files. Properties are correctly imported from doc files.

I have attached a docx file that demonstrates this issue. It has a property named "Test" with the value "<Test". This property can be read correctly by Word, but LibreOffice 3.5.4.2 shows its value as "<".
