No, the problem, as stated in the bug, is that the platform in description.xml is broken in MacOSX since 4.1; setting the platform to macosx_x86_64 won't work; in fact, setting the platform to anything else than "all" will fail. But you only need to set the platform in description.xml if your extension is targeted to run on a specific platform.

Or was it obligatory in 4.1.0 already (and it was by pure chance that > we didn't have any customers complaining)? 4.1 is the version where OpenOffice changed from 32 bit to 64 bit in MacOSX.

No, and you don't need to set the platform if your extension has only OOBasic code! That's why I asked you to post the description.xml, the error 'Extension will not run on this computer' suggest you are setting the platform to something different than "all". And setting it to "macosx_x86_64" won't work until the next minor release (the fix for bug https://issues.apache.org/ooo/show_bug.cgi?id=124783 isn't integrated in 4.1.1).
