I have run into this problem while working with Word documents. I seemed to have stumbled on a fix. I noticed in my source Word document there was some custom XML data in the metadata. After removing the custom XML, the issue is gone. I was not the author of the document so I have no idea where the custom XML came from, nor at this point, do I care. Problem fixed!
Here's the remedy I used...
Open the document in Word, click on File/Info/Check for Issues (Inspect Document)/Inspect Document/Inspect (button)/Remove All (Custom XML Data).
