(Get the code!)
I found this report a little difficult to understand, so here's my interpretation of it after some experimentation (reproducing the bug in the process). I hope this is accurate.
Open the document provided, then Tools -> Options -> OpenOffice.org Writer -> Grid; set Snap to grid, Visible grid, resolution to 1cm for both, subdivision to 1cm for both. Enable the Drawing toolbar in View -> Toolbars, then place a rectangle somewhere. Observe that Writer shows you the outline of the rectangle as it's drawing it, and then when you let go of the mouse button it actually places it one subdivision further down from where it said it was going to. Next (zoom in to 200% to see this) if you try to move the rectangle it doesn't snap properly to the grid, but snaps to something slightly offset from it.
This smacks of a rounding bug, perhaps.
