Well now google docs accepts but libreoffice itself says "file is corrupt
shall I repair?"
If I take the odt file directly made by exporter direcly in googledocs

If I push it through libreoffice and resave then googledocs does a better
job of displaying

I am not sure what the issue could be. I will have the issue in the
background for now. 

The good thing is atleast a workaround is available.
