Description Andreas J. Guelzow 2011-10-23 04:05:11 UTC 
The xls file attached to bug #425685 is supposed to have a subscript in A1. This fails to import and we have in current git as well as 1.10.13:

(gnumeric:20009): gnumeric:read-WARNING **: File is most likely corrupted.
(Condition "ptr + n == end" failed in excel_read_LABEL_markup.)

Note that LibreOffice open this file fine.
