OK. I just open the print dialog with the document in tdf#164354 (which has the
"Brochure" checkbox already bchecked by default) and I apply none of the post
processing settings in comment #9, print to Preview appears to layout the pages
correctly, but the Preview application's Inspector dialog shows a huge paper
size (215.9 cm x 279.4 cm).

Then, if I repeat the above step but this time I toggle the "Brochure" checkbox
off and then back on, print to Preview also appears to layout the pages
correctly, but this time the Preview application's Inspector shows the paper
size to be A5 instead A4. So I think I am now able to reproduce what @James R
described in comment #8.

I think I will need to read through LibreOffice's printing code and compare it
to NeoOffice code. In the first case above, print to Preview in NeoOffice
produces A4 pages with the correct layout.

But in the second case, NeoOffice produces the same A5 pages just like
LibreOffice so I will focus on the first case as the second case appears to be
a LibreOffice bug that is triggered by toggling of the "Brochure" checkbox.
