You seem to have found the solution to your problem. I gather there have 
been a lot of improvements to the OOXML (that's .docx, .xlsx, etc.) 
import and export filters in recent versions.

You're free to use that version, of course, but any problems are 
unlikely to be fixed. From 
<https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleasePlan> the 4.3 branch went 
"end of life" (that means no more development or bug fixes) in May 2015, 
and 4.4 in December. The currently maintained branches are 5.0 and 5.1.

LibreOffice certainly supports tables since very early versions. But 
perhaps there's something about the formatting of that particular table 
in OOXML format which triggers a problem in older versions.

I've no idea what the problem is, but from your description it seems to 
have been fixed in the latest versions so there's not much more that can 
be done.
