This is still observed in LibreOffice, at least in Ubuntu 11.04. Here my version details:
LibreOffice 3.3.3

tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2

There is an obvious (?) woraround for this, consisting in adding {} after (or before) the equal sign, so that the expression "equals to something". For example in this manner:
a+b_ij = {} newline {}= c+d

Perhaps instead of fixing this, it would suffice to clearly say somewhere in the manual that something MUST exist before and after and equal sign or plus sign, etc. And that if one wants to "equal to nothing", it's still necessary to put something, typically {}. Also possible is "".
