Document with 2 formulas

Some formulas have width much larger if open in LibO Writer in comparison with Word. See attached .doc and the screenshot (Word 2003 x Writer 5.0.1):
The first formula has the same width in Writer and Word.
The second formula is shorter than the first in Word but much wider than the first in Writer.

Document resaved in MSO as DOCX

Repro in master LO 6.3+. 
Looks similar to Bug 101100, binary equations created with Microsoft Equation 3.0 have image stretched and not if resaved in MSO as DOCX.
