Can't reproduce with 4.2.5.2 - Ubuntu 12.04 x86. Perhaps spesific to OSX.

Have you tried resetting user profile:

Problem persists even after resetting user profile. This bug appears on two different MacOSX machines running the same versions of MacOSX and LibreOffice.

Reproduced using 4.3.0.3 (aka RC3, 64-bit) on OS X 10.9.4. The same applies to time fields (inserted from Insert > Fields), and applies to both fixed and variable fields.

A workaround is to highlight only the inserted field and go to Edit > Fields… and choose the field type and format.
