I have just been informed that there is a hotfix that may resolve this
issue. It worked for me with some limited testing, so give it a try:

Hi Tony,

OK - I can duplicate this on SP2. It doesn't need any macros. Open a .doc
protected form and save it as a .docx in SP2, close it reopen it, and the
password is invalid.
I'll see what I can find out.
Great!
And the problem becames even stranger: if you unprotect the file
_before_ closing it everything is still okay. It needs to be closed.
bye, Lorenz
