Thank you for reporting the bug.
it seems you're using an old version of LibreOffice.
Could you please try to reproduce it with the latest version of LibreOffice
from https://www.libreoffice.org/download/libreoffice-fresh/ ?
I have set the bug's status to 'NEEDINFO'. Please change it back to
'UNCONFIRMED' if the bug is still present in the latest version.

I did

convert -colorspace CMYK -alpha off -interlace none -density 300x300 -quality
100 formfield-fdf.pdf formfield-fdf.jpg

after filling the form in Okular and saving and the jpg contains the text.

Justin: do you really get an empty field, if you test with my PDF? I also tried
exporting with PDF format forms, but that worked fine as well.

Sorry for the delay.
Yes I tested again and also with the test files I do not get the filled form. I
also tried with your command. Still the same.

My actual command was like this:
convert -density 200 -background 'white' formfield.pdf -alpha 'remove' -quality
85 -verbose -version formfield.jpg

Eh, my bad: contrary to your description, I filled the field in Okular and not
LibreOffice. I reproduce, if I fill the field already in LibreOffice.

Already in
