Ady, 

Your new formula confirms the issue is with the MMULT function in a recursive
formula in LO Calc. I tested the new formula you posted: 

"IF(ISNUMBER(G2),IF(G2=1,A2:C4,1),H2:J4)" 

and this worked fine on my side with the expected result of 1 for all cells.
Please, see my previous comment of why the expected result is 1 for your new
formula.
