It always means that the source is a Word document and that it is not cleaned. I would not go as far as to say it is improperly created, but it is not the easiest nor smartest way to go. The HTML export of Word is mediocre to say the least and needs a lot of cleaning. Not doing so can result in to unexpected and strange results.
Personally I would recommend my own Word add-in, which can create an ePUB directly in Word that is clean and have many other features that might be useful.
Others have good results with an export out of Atlantis Word Processor which can read docx, but not everything is supported (tables for one). Others again rely on Calibre to convert a Word document to ePUB. It does a fairly good job, but I personally don't like the styles and stylenames that Calibre uses. To each its own.
