A workaround is to make the scalable brackets as usual, then make two more brackets (left and right) by themselves--two additional math objects, then use the Position and Size window to scale these up to the proper size, then position them on top of the bad brackets and use the align tool to make sure the good brackets and the math formula are properly aligned vertically.

But it seems like LibreOffice should be smart enough to properly scale the brackets by itself. How does LaTeX do things like that? Would its techniques in any way be transferable to LibreOffice?
