This report from Oracle system

When I try to open/import the xml file in gnumeric 
1.12.1, I'm getting "There is already a merged region that intersects
File Information!I7:I8", and when I close the error dialog I get an 
empty worksheet. 
LibreCalc 4.0.2.2 open it OK.
Comment 1 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-08-01 04:18:00 UTC 
This seems to be an Excel style xml file:

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="Windows-1251"?>
<?mso-application progid="Excel.Sheet"?>
<Workbook xmlns="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
 xmlns:o="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:office"
 xmlns:x="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:excel"
 xmlns:ss="urn:schemas-microsoft-com:office:spreadsheet"
 xmlns:html="http://www.w3.org/TR/REC-html40">

It looks to me like Gnumeric has only partial support for importing this:

<!-- IMPORT partial format spreadsheetml from 2003  -->
<service type="file_opener" id="excel_xml" priority="1" probe="TRUE">
<information>
	<_description>MS Excel&#8482; 2003 SpreadsheetML</_description>
</information>
<suffixes>
	<suffix>xml</suffix>
</suffixes>
</service>

I think "partial" refers to the file only containing a partial spreadsheet.
Sort-of like html fragment.
Comment 3 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-08-01 16:37:31 UTC 
Morten, you changed the title to refer to xlsx. This file format has little to do with xlsx! IT is _not_ a partial spreadsheet in xlsx format!
Comment 4 Morten Welinder 2013-08-01 19:49:00 UTC 
Reverting title change.
Comment 5 Andreas J. Guelzow 2013-08-06 01:41:04 UTC 
This problem has been fixed in the development version. The fix will be available in the next major software release. Thank you for your bug report.
Comment 6 Ruslan Fatakhov 2013-09-11 09:50:08 UTC 
Hello! I'd like ask: Is major software release 1.13 ? Or 1.12.7?

Andreas hit the wrong button -- we don't actually have a development
series right now.  It's fixed in the latest 1.12.x
