When I generated the report "report_openoffice_samples.account_invoice", I met the following error:

Sample reports are outdated by now. We will try to make them up to date, on 1.0 version release.

Don't know if it is the same problem, but looks like.
Make module with report_openoffice report.
Module works well, print report is ok.

but when i try to make translation in french and obtain (from export translation wizard) :
Traceback (most recent call last):

XMLSyntaxError: Start tag expected, '<' not found, line 1, column 1

I comment in __terp__ line in which i define xml for the declaration of report_openoffice, no error.

i forget :
openerp 5.0.12
report_openoffice 1.0

@Bruno
The problem comes from tools/translate.py module.
When parsing the xml where your report is declared, openerp expects to find xml data at the path specified in the field named "report_rml", but the path actually points to an odt file.
Temporary fixed patching translate.py module and manually handling translations inside odt files.
