contains the document and thje lock file

LibreOffice always aborts when trying to open the attached .doc file with a message about "Folgende Dokumente werden wieder hergestellt", but the list of files in it is empty.

When you try again, the Recovery window opens with an empty list.

It may be, you can open and close other documents, but sometimes the processes soffice.exe and soffice.bin are multiplicated. I hace already seen more than 3 pairs of it. In this case, LibO will just ignore every attempt to apen any document (from users visibility) and add another process pair.

The only way out seems to be to
1) kill the processes
2) delete the lock file(s)

This happens both in WindowsXP and Windows7

extract and reattaching the .doc itself so it'll be picked up by the attachment scanners as a sample .doc

Crash under Linux 3.4.1 alright, none in master however, so looks like this has been fixed in the interim.
