I think this is what is to be expected, since Pandoc inserts the title,
author and date as *text* elements at the top of the docx document, which
usually is what you want. It's the same with HTML. In an HTML template you
can arrange it for the title heading, author etc. to be marked with a class
so that you can use a filter to rearrange them as metadata when converting
back to markdown. I don't know if the docx writer applies any special
styles to these elements but if it does/did you could use the `+styles`
extension and catch them with a filter.
