​I just did the following:
- Started LibreOffice
- Created a new document, typed a few words, then saved it
password-protected
- Closed it to return to the start screen: no preview image, and when
clicked it ask for the password
- Closed libreoffice, started it again: still no preview image​, still
asking for password
I'd say that the start screen doesn't bypass the password protection
mechanism in any way: it doesn't disclose a preview of the document, nor
keep an unencrypted copy anywhere.

Maybe I misunderstood, but I don't get the problem here.
