LibreCAD have just fixed their issue with dots on some DXF imports, in LibreCAD-Installer-2.2.0-alpha-45-g69fe247 so attached here are 3 x import/save-as to DXF 2007/R14/R12 versions.

Of these 2007 & R14 load as per width-removed images above, but R12 loads fine into LibreCAD and DoubleCAD, but loses ARCS/Circles when imported into KiCad.
ie the info seems to be in the DXF, as other CAD packages load ok, but kiCad either does not see it, or chooses to ignore it.

All LC saves seem to have correct scaling, but non display with line width preserved.

Given not all kiCad layers can support ARCs, it would be useful for DXF import to have an option to rebuild ARC as segments, with a Segment count choice (& _not_ just 6 or 32 ).
