I have just run upgrades, and am now at LibreOffice 5.4.5.1 on Kubuntu 17.10 . I found this thread because I had the "access was denied" issue.

My Thinkpad has original Windows 7 disk (where data is obviously stored on NTFS), and a mSATA on which I have a triple boot install (i.e. Kubuntu 17.10, Ubuntu 17.10 and Deepin Linux). On this "never fail" configuration, I should be able to invoke LibreOffice on any of the three Linux versions, or from Windows 7 (which I practically never do).

I have now run:

  sudo ln -s /etc/apparmor.d/usr.lib.libreoffice.program.* /etc/apparmor.d/disable/

... so LibreOffice works.

So, I haven't stored my documents under $HOME/ since 2009, and have used similar configurations running back to Ubuntu 9.04 and Windows XP and multiboot.

I am not a developer, and would describe myself as a "power user". I don't really understand apparmor, so I see this new change as something that could potentially disrupt any user who has multiple partitions on his or her computer.
