I can also confirm this using LibreOffice 3.3.1 (Build:8) on Ubuntu 10.04.

One thing which might be of interest is that opening the saved document 
with Microsoft word viewer (sic!) the expected result is shown, so if 
you are saving in docx format just to share with someone with MS office 
they should view the document ok.

As for the doc(x) and MS office 'dominance' in the work environment I 
feel and share your pain (especially on the presentation side here).

Another thing (untested)... I think nothing prevents you from saving 
from LO to .doc format (which seems to be better supported) and simply 
rename the file to .docx ... Ok I know this sounds a bit mean.. but hey 
I bet no one would know it and do you really use the docx features? ;)

Lorenzo.
