I've just reviewed this issue again. Perhaps the Help text has changed ... 
because it now (OOo2.3) says:

"\n in the Replace with text box stands for a paragraph break that can be 
entered with the Enter or Return key."

Evidently this is intended for users of Writer, but could (arguably) be read 
as 'there is no paragraph mark in Calc, so it doesn't apply and we replace 
literally in Calc'

In which case it could be argued that it's working as designed.

I documented the current Calc behaviour in a regex HowTo
http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Documentation/How_Tos/Regular_Expressio
ns_in_Calc
before rediscovering this issue. 

I wonder if a quick fix to allow this issue to be closed might be to change the 
Help to read:

"In Writer, \n in the Replace with text box stands for a paragraph break that 
can be entered with the Enter or Return key. In Calc, \n in the Replace with 
text box simply stands for the 2 characters \n"

Very few people like the way \n and paragraphs are handled by OOo regex, but 
getting the behaviour documented warts and all might help.
