I tested a bit further, and it might not be locale. Maybe it is some
LibreOffice version issue or build issue.

Below is the DATA passed to yank handler:

Debugger entered--entering a function:
* org--libreoffice-table-handler(application/x-libreoffice-tsvc 
#("1\0\11\0002\0\11\0003\0\n\0004\0\11\0005\0\11\0005\0\n\0" 0 24 
(foreign-selection application/x-libreoffice-tsvc)))
  yank-media()

As you can see, the data contains \0 characters.
