Dag: some information:
The Writer codepath is separate from the Calc one, so please file a separate
bug for that issue.

Per Wikipedia (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Byte_order_mark):
"The Unicode Standard permits the BOM in UTF-8,[2] but does not require or
recommend its use....The standard also does not recommend removing a BOM when
it is there, so that round-tripping between encodings does not lose
information, and so that code that relies on it continues to work."

In this case, your file didn't originally have a BOM, so I definitely suggest
that we don't *add* one.
