Alex: seems the problem existed before Aug 2016, but not anymore. See 
https://bugs.documentfoundation.org/show_bug.cgi?id=72987#c14 and 
comment 17 which refer to 
https://git.libreoffice.org/core/commit/0cc1ddf2d8d6bc7df74fdd8f8f97381df681177d

Quoting from Lionel's comment 17:

'The problem was fixed by saving (within the odb zip structure) firebird 
data in an endianess-independent format, called the "backup" format, in 
a file with extension ".fbk".'
