Severity > Critical as this technically causes data loss but has a workaround
to recover it. 

1) lsb_release -rd
Description: Ubuntu 11.10
Release: 11.10

2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc
libreoffice-calc:
  Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric-updates/main i386
Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
     1:3.4.3-3ubuntu2 0
        500 http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/ oneiric/main i386 Packages

3) What is expected to happen in a blank LibreOffice Calc file:

type testit in cell A1 -> File -> Save As -> File name: testit -> File type:
ODF Spreadsheet (.ods) -> Save button -> Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros ->
LibreOffice Basic... -> click testit.ods ->
Organizer... -> select testit.ods -> click New -> OK button -> with Module1
highlighted click New -> in the text box Name: ThisWorkbook -> OK button ->
Close button -> Close button -> Save -> File -> Exit and reopen by double
clicking the file or via the Terminal:

libreoffice --calc testit.ods

and it opens successfully.

4) What happens instead is the document is blank and the Terminal shows:

libreoffice --calc testit.ods
Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
PK
^

WORKAROUND: Open it via the Terminal command:

libreoffice testit.ods

WORKAROUND: After opening via the above workaround, copy the entire sheet from
testit.ods into a new, blank Calc document, save the document and then one may
open via the expected Terminal commands or by double clicking.
