Indeed. The cells were probably formatted as text (and therefore would warrant
INVALID), but... if it weren't for some inconsistencies I noted below:

1.) I was sure that Auto-number recognition and Auto-formula recognition has
always precedence. Strange. Also, the formula autocompletion is activated,
although the resulting entry is a text string. Even entering a function using
the fx button keeps the resulting entry as a text string, and doesn't evaluate
to a function. I would say that this last "feature" is definitely a bug.

2.) Also, the missing apostrophe at the beginning of the text did mislead me.
Changing the cell to a different type, does NOT evaluate the formula. It will
still display the content as =..., without the apostrophe in the beginning (see
cell A78). This clearly misleads one.

3.) And this makes Calc very inconsistent: SUM() will evaluate these
text-numbers!!! But it doesn't evaluate numbers entered as '1. Therefore, is the
1 entered as text now or as number?

I would say, it is a number, but then why does Calc NOT also evaluate the 
formula?

A lot of inconsistencies.
