I agree that the OPs problem is solved.  However, this comment could be
misleading.

The extension is needed in order for certain operating systems to launch the
correct program for processing the particular file.  (This assumes that
association mechanism does not sniff the document.)

The extension should not matter when an ODF package is delivered to the
application, since the "mimetype" entry is invariably present and it is
definitive.

Finally, the ODF specification does not mandate file extensions.  Nor does the
IANA registration for the MIME types.

In this respect, failure to launch is different than failure to accept.  AOO
should not fail to accept a valid ODF Package that has a recognized "mimetype"
entry.
