That is a well known "feature" of MS Office.  Excel would replace 
formulas with calculated values.  For some reason, MS thought that was 
appropriate, even though no other spreadsheet app does that. This was 
back in the days when MS was ramming their OOXML "standard" through ISO.

I believe, though don't know, that this has been corrected in later 
versions of MS Office.  This is one bug that can be laid squarely at the 
feet of MS and one might even suspect it was deliberate.

Bottom line, there's nothing for LO to fix.
