Ok, this is what happened:

I was working on getting a backtrace on OpenOffice2.0due to a performance issue,
and when you use the backtrace program, you have to kill off OO.o2.0. We tested
on a variety of different files, but when the program stopped working, and I had
to kill it off, the recovery system seemed to back my file being saved up to
sometime prior to when I last saved.

Later, I figured out it is because the recovery system isn't smart enough to put
the file back where it found it (IE, saving to an illogical place automatically)

It wouldn't have been a problem, except for the fact I specifically told it not
to try to recover anything and it replaced my file anyway.

The recovery system is very in your face and not very user friendly, I find.
Before, it would just save your work and crash, now it crashes if you don't let
it try to recover and makes a big mess, especially if trying to get backtraces
that require files open.

I don't know exactly what I did to get it to behave so stupidly, really. I am
lucky it got it into its own head to drop a second back up file in an odd place
(which I found about three hours later by accident.)

I think the biggest problem is that when recovering, it doesn't recover to where
the file actually is, which leads to a whole lot of pointless confusion.
