I have a German installation and it is the
Optionen -> Pfade -> Arbeitsverzeichnis -> Standard

In your side note you have described my issue. For some reasons (maybe a faulty app has created it) I have the folder ~/Dokumente and ~/Documents. So unlike in your Spanish example it does not pick "/home/username" as fallback, it picks "/home/username/Documents where I do not have a Natilus shortcut for and so almost hidden.

I had a bief look into the source
https://github.com/LibreOffice/core/blob/b5867945d67dba505d0629e5e41fdc52bc78bfee/shell/source/backends/desktopbe/desktopbackend.cxx#L245

And it looks like using "xdg-user-dir DOCUMENTS" is intended. It is done by accessing directly the "~/.config/user-dirs.dirs" file. Maybe it fails somewhere?
