So, I did some painful research on this:

On Ubuntu precise (build and run) the bug is not there.

On Ubuntu quantal with gcc 4.7 the bug is there even after fixing the ABI incompatibility.

On Ubuntu precise with LibreOffice packages build on quantal (sticking to quantal versions of non-LibreOffice packages), the bug is still there. So whatever is the root cause it is introducing the bug already at build time.

So I recompiled the packages on quantal with gcc 4.6 and retested on Ubuntu precise. Bug is still there, so it also is not the compiler update.

To make sure, I recompiled the exact compiler package from precise on quantal and then recompiled LibreOffice with that on quantal and tested the result on precise. The bug is _still_ there.

So, I am getting humbled by these results not to make any bold claims, but it seems to me that the bug is introduced by something changing _at_buildtime_ between precise and quantal (e.g. some dependencies) and it is _not_ gcc.
