MS .doc file fails to import correctly

This bug was tested LibreOffice v4.1 RC1 running in windows 7 and XP. It appears that LibreOffice loses formatting when importing MS Word 2003 .doc files. I have attached an example.

Steps to reproduce the bug:
1. Open attached Demo-Hayden-Management.doc document in writer 
2. Open attached Demo-Hayden-Management.doc document in Word2003/Office 365
3. Compare the documents. 

Note item #2 in the image comparison. The separator bar is not displayed after being imported in LO.

I can confirm this behavior using Mac OSX 10.8.3 with LibreOffice 4.1.0.1 RC.

Kind regards,
Joren
