I found this weird because I never had openjdk-6-jre installed had managed to get the export functions working, so I tried to figure out this bug on a fresh install in VirtualBox.

On a fresh install, when exporting, OpenOffice complains that there is no JRE installed and suggest installing openoffice.org-java-common. At first I only installed the jre I'm used to : sun-java6-jre.
Then OpenOffice doesn't show the missing jre message but only the "Write error" message which is something you usually get when the hard drive is full or when the disk is read only.
When I installed openoffice.org-java-common everything was working correctly and it's true, openoffice.org-wiki-publisher isn't needed (I thought so because it had resolved the missing dependency of openoffice.org-java-common)

So the real issue is with Sun's JRE Open Office skips a useful error message, so this bug doesn't really concern Ubuntu.
