And, in case it is useful, the MathML:
<math xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="block">
  <mrow>
    <munder class="msub">
      <mrow>
    <munder accentunder="false">
      <mrow> 
        <mi>x</mi>
        <mi>x</mi>
        <mi>x</mi>
        <mo class="MathClass-op">&#x2026;</mo>
        <mi>x</mi>
        <mi>x</mi>
      </mrow>
      <mo>&#xFE38;</mo>
      </munder> 
      </mrow>
      <mrow>
    <mi>n</mi>
    </mrow>
    </munder>
  </mrow>
</math>

This is rendered correctly by MathJax and by Firefox native rendering. If I 
transform that using pandoc to LaTeX, for instance, I get:
\[\underset{n}{\underset{\}\ }{xxx\ldots xx}}\]
This renders in the same unexpected manner as the Word rendering when going 
the other way. 

Thanks,
Emma
