Confirmed although my situation is a little different:
I had some documents created b LibreOffice on Windows. On Windows
LibreOffice bundles Linux Libertine Graphite and calls the fonts "Linux
Libertine G" and "Linux Biolinum G".
Opening these documents in LibreOffice on Ubuntu breaks the whole design
(not only small differences, what would be normal): LibreOffice (or
fontconfig?) doesn't seem to be able to map "Linux Libertine G" and
"Linux Biolinum G" to "Linux Libertine" and "Linux Biolinum". So it
applies some default fonts (but not "Linux Libertine" and "Linux
Biolinum" although they are my LibreOffice default fonts). The font
replacement in LibreOffice also does not help as it can only replace
known fonts.
Manually installing the Graphite font package solved this problem This
is why I did not open a new bug, as there seems to be a common solution
and therefore probably also a common cause.

Title:
Linux Libertine & Libreoffice 3.5 distorted printing
Status in “fonts-linuxlibertine” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Bug description:
Linux Libertine 5.1.3 and Libreoffice 3.5.x (I've tested 3.5.3 and
3.5.4) don't play well together. On screen everthing looks nice, but
on printout the distances between the letters are completly distored.
The printout is hard to read and looks ugly. I've seen this on all our
machines (at the moment 7) where Ubuntu 12.04 is installed. Printer is
always a Brother MFC 8640N
Older Ubuntu releases e.g. 10.04 and 11.10 (with older Libreoffice,
OpenOffice and Linux Libertine, ) print as they should, as did every
Ubuntu release in the past.
Solution is to use the Linux Libertine G variant from here
http://www.numbertext.org/linux/index.html. Which is a 'graphite'
version of Linux Libertine. Now printings of Linuxlibertine are fine
again.
It looks like Libreoffice 3.5.x uses the graphite engine with Linux
Libertine, regardless if the font is fittet for graphite or not.
