The problem is actually a little bit different between OpenOffice 1.1.4 and 
2.0.4.

When called with the "create" option, the attached Java class will create a test
file, Issue71322.xls. When this file is verified, using the "verify" option of
the class, the output is:

1       | "A1"  | "B1"
2       | ""    | ""
3       | ""    | "B3"

This is the expected output; cells A2, B2, and A3 contain zero-length strings.
When the file is loaded with OpenOffice 1.1.4 and saved again, the result is:

1       | "A1"  | "B1"
2       | BLANK | BLANK
3       | BLANK | "B3"

This is pretty much the problem that was reported as issue 50737.
When a new Issue71322.xls file is created again and then loaded and saved with
OpenOffice 2.0.4 the result is:

1       | "A1"  | "B1"
2
3       | null  | "B3"

Cell A3, which contained the zero-length string, has been removed (it has not
even been replaced with a blank cell; there simply is no cell A3 in that sheet
anymore). Likewise, row 2 has been completely removed.

I changed the wording of the summary line to reflect this new discovery. I
initially assumed that I was dealing with issue 50737 that was still present in
OpenOffice 2.0.4, but apparently the behavior is different.
