Example file: Formulas in Tables in Writer & Conversion to pdf

To calculate a sum in a table in a Writer document the following formulas can be used:
i) <A1>+<A2>+<A3>
ii) <A1:A3>
iii) SUM <A1:A3>
The result in the Writer document is correct with all these formulas.

The problem becomes visible when the Writer document is converted to the pdf format, e.g. using the LO command line conversion method
soffice.exe --convert-to pdf WriterBug.odt
or another odt2pdf tool:
A correct conversion to the pdf file is possible only with the (i) formula, the two other formulas result in 
"** Expression is faulty **"

See the attached WriterBug.odt.

If you use the Writer export function to create the pdf file, there is no problem.

Confirmed with soffice.exe --convert-to pdf WriterBug.odt
Exporting through the gui is fine.

Why QA Administrators is asking? 
I don't think that there was an effort to fix this bug at all.
The bug is still present in 5.2.1.2 (32 bit).

Because something like 20% of pinged old reports have actually been fixed, when tested.
