First of all, the Wordconv.exe converts a .doc file to a .docx file, ostensible writing no output.   However, I find if I change the script to read:

#!/bin/bash

OFFICE_BIN="C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Office\root\Office16"

for doc in *.doc; do
        echo "converting: $doc"
        "$OFFICE_BIN"/Wordconv.exe -oice -nme "$doc" "${doc}x" | od
done

and run, I don’t get the seg faults, but od is showing no output written as you might expect (as in od <dev/null).

$ conv.sh
converting: Post-Install.doc
0000000
converting: Post-InstallB.doc
0000000
converting: Post-InstallTest.doc
0000000

So something is strange about this particular .exe being executed from bash.  (Remember that the .bat version of conv.sh does not seg fault.

Sending the output of od to /dev/null silences the seg fault and spurious output; provoding a workaround.
