DOCX containing headers & footers for 'first', 'even' & 'odd' pages - but 'first' and 'even' are turned off

Problem description: 
LO does not preserve headers & footers if they are not being shown in the document.
Meaning - if a DOCX contains a 'first-page' header, but the 'show different first page' is turned OFF, than LibreOffice will not even import that header and lose it.
However, in Word - you can still turn on & off the 'first-page' header without losing it.

Steps to reproduce:
1. Load the attached DOCX in LO
2. Save as NEW.DOCX
3. Load the NEW.DOCX in Word
4. Turn on the 'Different First Page' flag - the original 'first page' header & footer are lost and are shown blank.
5. Turn on the 'Different Odd & Even pages' flag - the original 'even page' header & footer are lost and are shown blank.

Current behavior:
LO does not preserve 'first page' \ 'even page' headers and footers if they are not shown.

Expected behavior:
LO does should preserve 'first page' \ 'even page' headers and footers even if they are shown.
