It might not be the version after all...  I downloaded the AppImage from
https://appimages.libreitalia.org/ (listed in
https://www.libreoffice.org/download/appimage/) and it does not have
NULL bytes at all:

    Debugger entered: (#("1\0112\0113\n4\0115\0116\n" 0 12 (foreign-selection application/x-libreoffice-tsvc)))
      (progn (debug nil (gui-get-selection 'PRIMARY 'application/x-libreoffice-tsvc)))


\011 is the TAB character.

    % ./LibreOffice-7.4.6.2.basic-x86_64.AppImage --version
    LibreOffice 7.4.6.2 5b1f5509c2decdade7fda905e3e1429a67acd63d

Thanks so it is confirmed that yank-media does not do any conversion.
What if you instead do

    (x-get-selection-internal 'PRIMARY 'application/x-libreoffice-tsvc)

?  I am not sure if it will reveal anything.  Also, what is the value of
x-select-request-type?
