While I'm all okay to apply the patch even though it's crappy code (see my comment on the upstream bug), I'm confused by the fact that I can't even reproduce the problem. The anne.py file opens fine with gvim, and header_and_footer.sxw opens "correctly" with openoffice write (except the latter crashes, but it's another problem).
