So the file was created with Microsoft Office and saved as XLSX? Then it was saved with Microsoft Office as XLS?
from spreadsheet.
Yes this is correct. The only thing is that it has been first created with Microsoft Excel and saved (to default XLSX format) and closed then opened again and saved as XLS.

What happens if you save the file to XLS using LibreOffice? Does spreadsheet gem then work?

Yes the file shrinks to 97 KB and then everything works fine
And why was was the file first saved as XLSX and not as XLS?
Because the user didn't pay attention to this when he created the file (XLSX is the default)
My concern is not about the facts there are some limitation with the spreadsheet gem, that's fine with me. But at least it should fail nicely if it can't process some XLS files. Else it's a nightmare for users of any system making use of this gem (we can't possibly tell them to check for bloated files and/or expect them to guess that if they can't import/process some data in your system it's because the file is bloated).

I kind of a agree and if you have an idea how to "fail nicely" if spreadsheet gem can not process "an XLS" file then please submit a patch with the according test cases.
I am happy that LibreOffice is doing a good job.
