On pc Debian x86-64 with master sources updated today, I reproduced the problem.
Here are some console logs:

I am able to open the file with LO 3.4. It fails with all newer versions.

It seems that there is some problem with the type detection because some version tries to open the file as using the CSV filter and some as a normal ASCII text.

I do not see the warnings on the console log. I wonder if they are produced by a debug build or so.
They mean some problems with uncompressing and might be related to the wrong type detection.

We need to fix the bug because it blocks the user. On the other hand, it is pretty old and nobody reported it yet, so it must be a kind of corner case. The "Paradox" software probably generates a bit non-standard documents => it should not block the next bugfix release with many other fixes and improvements => lowering the severity a bit

I can't even open the file in Excel 2010, idles for a while with "opening MS-Office" and when cancelling that says "The file is corrupt and cannot be opened."
