There's already a bug report about this, I think, here:

https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=32362

which also points back to an older bug from OpenOffice.org here:

http://openoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=66848


But it doesn't look like there's been any activity on it for long time.  I only recently stumbled on this bug while putting together a document/presentation in LibreOffice.  You can kind of work around it in Impress in a roundabout way by making a big font non-scalable bracket and putting it on top of the bad one, but there's no working around it in Writer.  For any kind of stuff where you might use big brackets in math formulas, it makes Impress more difficult to use and Writer impossible to use compared to MS Office.

  3) When is expected to happen in LibreOffice Writer with embedded LO
  Math equation is the scalable square brackets look as they would in
  Word.

  4) What happens instead is the top and bottom part of the bracket look
  like a square instead of a line pointing inwards towards the equation.
