The saved file contains:
<table:table-cell table:style-name="ce2"
table:formula="of:=org.gnumeric.pentecostsunday([.A2])" office:value-type="date"
office:date-value="1899-12-30"><text:p>#NAME?</text:p></table:table-cell>

I guess I was to hasty to say that "It should either preserve the old values, or
not include values at all!" but what Openoffice is currently doing is not 
correct:

OpenOffice clearly obtains #NAME? ie. an error value as the result of trying to
attmpt this calculation. According to 4.5 of the ODF 1.2 draft:
"In an OpenDocument document, if an error value is the result of a cell
computation it shall be stored as if it was a string. That is, the
office:value-type of an error value is string; if the computed value is stored,
it is stored in the attribute office:string-value."

So it is incorrect to use: office:value-type="date" 
office:date-value="1899-12-30".

(It would be my perhaps incorrect interpretation that OOo could claim it was
unable to perform any calculation, in that case I think it should store the old
value.)

So this might in fact be the same bug as issue #102958 which hasn't drawn any
attention since I filed it last June.
