They may have fixed it in 3.4.3. I just opened the sample .lwp from:
http://www.libreoffice.org/download/new-features-and-fixes/

Note that the sample file has no graphics.  On the Mac now with 3.4.3 the rendering of the sample 
file is better.  The green text is now green.  The text in the green background, that I think is 
supposed to be double spaced (2x character height) is single height.  My graphics file, now has the 
title on it, it didn't in 3.4.2, but still no picture!  It was a drawing object in .lwp converted 
from .SAM.

Lotus Word Pro import filter* (sample)

in both LO 3.3.4 and LO 3.4.3 (confusing isn't it? glad I'm not
dyslexic) and both are identical. Note: those are both linux versions. I
may have a 3.4.2 on another machine (linux and Windows) & see if that
experiences any problems.
