Not resolved. I did not try the PPA version just LibreOffice 3.3.1 from Ubuntu 11.04.

root@guest-VirtualBox:/home/guest# cat /etc/issue
Ubuntu natty (development branch) \n \l

root@guest-VirtualBox:/home/guest# aptitude show libreoffice-calc | grep Version
Version: 1:3.3.1-1ubuntu3

How to reproduce:
Open LibreOffice spreadsheet > Right Click in any cell > Insert Comment > Type your test comment > Click in a different cell > Save As > File Type > Office Open XML Spreadsheet(.xlsx)

Open the saved sheet and cell comment is gone.

I tried other formats:
.xls lost the comment (pretty sure this worked when I reported the bug initially)
.ods worked
