I can reproduce with LO 3.6.7.2 (Ubuntu 12.04 32bit).

@Pavel, what kind of image (diagram) in that file? SVG? JPG? EPS ?

Sorry, I really don't know. 
I think you need to check MS specifications.

File was created in MS Office 2010(?) then diagram was inserted as shown here http://www.trainingtech.net/how-to-insert-charts-in-word-2010/
and everything was saved in compatibility mode with Office 2003.

That is all that I know. Sorry.

Maybe I am wrong.
I've renamed sample.doc to sample.zip and extract files.
There is a 20kb file with name [3]EPRINT inside which constantly repeats "45 4D 46 2B" == EMF+
Wiki says it is Windows Metafile

I tried with LO 4.1.5 and once it looked OK, properly exported, but again with that version and 4.2.3. it's only partially exported, chart is there without labels.

Diagrams partially exported to PDF with LO 4.2.3.2 on Win

I tried on Windows with LO 4.1.5 and somehow I got it once to look OK, properly exported, but again with that version and 4.2.3. it's only partially exported, chart is there without labels.
I tried on Linux with LO 4.2.1 and it looked OK, properly exported.
So until LO on Windows is confirmed to work properly with this, I change platform to "all".

Diagrams properly exported to PDF with LO 4.1.5.3 AFTER click in.pdf

I tried on Windows with LO 4.1.5 and 4.2.3 and it's only partially exported, chart is there without labels.
But, if we click in the chart, and Microsoft Graph is open, then export to PDF works fine after that. 

Although this bug started as "Linux only", I tried on Linux with LO 4.2.1 and 4.2.3 and it looks OK, properly exported.
So until LO on Windows is confirmed to work properly with this, I change platform to "Windows".

I change title from "PDF: Diagrams from .doc files are not exported to pdf" to "PDF: Diagrams from DOC files not exported to PDF unless clicked in"
Comment 8 Timur 2014-12-09 13:29:53 UTC 
Problem originated in LO 3.6.0 as a regression, because it worked fine in LO 3.5.
When Pavel reported with LO 4.0.2, it was a serious one, because there was no diagram at all. 
Later in LO 4.0.x diagram started to appear in PDF export. But, it's only partially exported, chart is there without labels. If we click in the chart, and Microsoft Graph is open, then export to PDF works fine after that. 
This remained the problem up to LO 3.5.1 and 4.4.0 beta 1. 
In LO 4.4.0 beta 2, file is imported without labels so it's exported to PDF like that!

Adding keyword 'bibisectRequest' to see whether this regression is already present in the oldest build of bibisect-43all repository or not.
In case it's already present, change 'bibisectRequest' to 'preBibisect'.
Otherwise, change 'bibisectRequest' to 'bibisected' and add a comment with the output from 'git bisect log'
Comment 11 Timur 2017-08-29 10:17:54 UTC 
LO 5.3.4 also NOK, 5.4.1 even worse on open and export, but 6.0+ OK. 
I hope it'll stay like that. I'd be good to know where this was fixed.
Of course, it has nothing with EMF-WMF, so I remove that useless block.
