Working & Saving as .doc (or any format other than ODF, .odt for text) will always carry some risk. There will always be a higher risk of problems like this when you use the foreign file formats.
Safest approach: Work & save in ODF, then export a copy as .doc as needed. Treat these exported files as "disposable" and always make the definitive edits to the ODF version.
That does mean a bit more effort, but it's not terrible.
