If the file is valid ODF according to the validator then you have to blame 
LibO. Both LibO and AOO are pretty rigid sometimes and don't accept perfectly 
valid ODF input. I have found this especially to be the case when the writing 
application (e.g. Calligra) doesn't specify all formatting options even when 
they are not used. 

I work on Calligra myself and where I found the most problems of this case was 
with charts but I'm sure there are other cases too. I just cannot come up with 
them from the top of my head.

This type of testing is very interesting.  I would be very grateful if you 
could also report any bugs you find in Calligra when you test that.
