I copied a .dot file into the Office 2007 startup folder. When I tried to
run the macro from Word 2007 I got a "disabled macros" message. When I moved
the file to the Word startup folder, I was able to run the macro without any
difficulty. (The .dot file contains a macro that I only use in Word 2007.)

Is this a bug? Is there a reason to put a .dot file in the Office startup
folder as opposed to the Word startup folder, or vice versa?

Thanks.

Templates in the Word and Office startup folders are loaded automatically
when Word starts, however the Office startup folder is not by default a
trusted location and so macros there will not run unless you make it so.

If you are running both Word 2007 and a parallel earlier version, the best
plan it to create separate user template and startup folders for each (from
Word Oprions) and keep the templates used separate from one another. I would
suggest that you don't use the Office startup folder unless there is a
pressing reason I can't think of to do so.
