Not exactly correct. Yes, when working with the LODev builds, by default the
.msi installer package does not write into the Windows registry. 

For the Windows RC and Final release builds that is changed with a single
toggle of the WRITE_REGSITRY value from "0" to "1".

When working with LODev builds, running the installation from a command prompt
and setting WRITE_REGISTRY=1 will fully enable recording of GUI options into
the Windows registry.

msiexec.exe /i libreoffice-4-0~2013-03-02_00.38.08_LibO-Dev_4.0.2.0_Win_x86.msi
WRITE_REGISTRY=1

LOdev is recorded into HKLM > SOFTWARE > RegisteredApplications, and File
Associations are made into HKLM > SOFTWARE > Classes

LOdev applications are available to associate as default types, which per user
get modified in HKCU > SOFTWARE > Classes

Problems seem to arise with stale HKCU settings, which take precedence over
HKLM settings. Or the clearing of HKCU settings, which lead to claims of
"hijacking" associations.

It is Windows specific behavior that probably merits some development effort to
enhance the installer and possibly as suggested integrate a more effective
"File Association Manager" for LibreOffice associated file types.
