OOo has always had issues with RTF:
<http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/buglist.cgi?bug_status=REOPENED&bug_status=NEW&bug_status=UNCONFIRMED&bug_status=STARTED&field-1-0-0=bug_status&field0-0-0=product&field0-0-1=component&field0-0-2=short_desc&field0-0-3=status_whiteboard&field0-0-4=longdesc&query_format=advanced&remaction=&type-1-0-0=anyexact&type0-0-0=substring&type0-0-1=substring&type0-0-2=substring&type0-0-3=substring&type0-0-4=substring&value-1-0-0=REOPENED%2CNEW%2CUNCONFIRMED%2CSTARTED&value0-0-0=rtf&value0-0-1=rtf&value0-0-2=rtf&value0-0-3=rtf&value0-0-4=rtf&order=bugs.bug_id>

LO uses the same OOo baseline code:
<https://bugs.freedesktop.org/buglist.cgi?query_format=specific&order=relevance+desc&bug_status=__open__&product=LibreOffice&content=RTF>

However there may be some hope for the future. These may be of interest:
<http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Development/Gsoc/Ideas#Improve_RTF_Import_.28RTF_Tokenizer.29>

<http://vmiklos.hu/doc/gsoc-2k1o.html>

My recommendation would be to ask the user what WP or spreadsheet they
use & try to export in the same format if possible.
