No. XeTeX is XeTeX and libo, libo. They are completely different animals with
completely different processing engines, pdf output mechanisms. There is no
overlap. All XeTeX is doing is inserting \actualText elements just as I
suggested a while back (see comment #48). This will require some programming
from someone who has the time to do it. Either that or you can pay one of the
consulting companies to do it. Since this is a new feature, no amount of
complaining or trying to say it's a regression on some font or other is going
to fix it.
The only way forward on this bug is for someone to commit code to add the
capability to libo.
