Sample set to reproduce the problem

{LibreOffice 4.4.1.2, 4.4.2.2, Writer} {Microsoft Windows XP SP2 as well as SP3}
I'm using mail merge with LibreOffice 4.3 successfully for a long time. With the release of 4.4, I was exited to try its new features. But the mail merge is not working as expected. In merged documents all bullets and numbering are not displayed and the documents becomes messed up. 

In the attachment: -
1. database.ods - The data
2. database.odb - The database (connected to spreadsheet database.ods)
3. Test Mail Merge.odt - The master document.
4. Test output mailmerge.odt - The output of mail merge.

To reproduce the bug.  Register database.odb in writer (or create a new one on database.ods).  Select print -> yes on do you want to print form letters.  Select one row from the database and save the output as a file.

The bullet and numbering are gone.

Please confirm and suggest solution.

Yep, could reproduce in 4.4.2, but fortunately this has been fixed in master it seems as I could not repro with 5.0. You can try with 4.4.3 RC1: http://www.libreoffice.org/download/pre-releases/
