I think it is a problem with docx files.  If the sample file I have put 
in the bug report is saved in Word97-2003 .doc format, LO imports it 
correctly, with the same cropping as in the original Word2007 document.

It's only when LO tries to import the docx version that the 'squashed' 
image effect occurrs.
