Hi Chris,
This is interesting. On my fairly fresh install of Ubuntu restricted extras, I get the same behavior as previously (normal words spelled incorrectly). However installing OMS on the live cd does make it work correctly. I'm not sure how that's possible. I did install "restricted extras" yesterday on this desktop. Could Sun's JRE have anything to do with it? I "Completely removed" sun-java6-bin and sun-java6-jre, and that didn't help. I also "Completely removed" all dependencies of openjdk stuff: ca-certificates-java, icedtea-6-jre-cacao, icedtea-6-plugin, libaccess-bridge-java, openjdk-6-jre, openjdk-6-jre-headless, and openjdk-6-jre-lib. That didn't help either.

I'm not 100% sure, but my thought is that if I did another fresh install of Jaunty, I would have the same problem. Is there a difference between the live-cd's OO.o and one after a fresh install? I've never tried installing directly in the live cd before, only in a fresh install. That seems to be the differentiating factor for me at this point. If you'd like me to try a true fresh install (without any additional packages) of 64-bit Jaunty on my desktop, I can.
