Is RTF format able to handle such kind of text fields (placeholders)?
Abiword (2.5.8 under Ubuntu) save the name of the placeholder between < and >. 
LO should do the same if placeholders are not supported by RTF, instead of removing it.

Best regards. JBF

  4) What happens instead is they disappear.

  PARTIAL WORKAROUND: Convert to .rtf via AbiWord. This will not
  preserve the text field function but will preserve the words.

  abiword --to=rtf --to-name=Vorlage\ Brief.rtf Vorlage\ Brief.ott &&
  abiword Vorlage\ Brief.rtf
