Default Word 07 cannot save file after merging - system generated name

Greetings!

I use Word 07 to open a Word 03 mail merge main document, then run merge
using Word 03 source - I can edit contacts or change sources without issue.
When closing main document, I get a prompt "Sj67yt.doc is a mail merge main
document that is attached to a data source...that has not been saved. Do you
want to save Sj67yt.doc?"

While "Sj67yt.doc" should actually show the main file's name, it does not
- this is system generated, and changes from attempt to attempt. Also, it
fails with a Read-only access message.

Has anyone else seen this? I know I can change the data source to a new
XLSX or DOCX file, but I was hoping my customers wouldn't have to recreate
all their sources.

Thanks in advance,

Daniel
