Confirmed; I can reproduce this bug.
Unfortunately... so has my wife, who learned the volatility of /tmp the hard
way today. :-/
When user selects to save-as for a file that is in /tmp, it should
default to save to ~/Documents instead.
Setting to high priority and targeting to precise since this usability
issue can result in data loss.

Title:
[Upstream] Never let users save in /tmp by default
Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
Confirmed
Status in “libreoffice” source package in Precise:
Confirmed
Bug description:
When you download something and choose to open it in LibreOffice, it
will be saved in /tmp. If you choose Save As, the default saving
location will be in /tmp.
I just lost a partly written exam that way. I thought it was on my
Desktop, but oh no, it was in /tmp and after rebooting it's now gone.
The suggestion is to NEVER let /tmp be the default folder in the Save
dialog, and to ALWAYS warn the user if saving something there.
