Some more information if anyone wants to work on it without apport output.  
Doing an:
 strace /usr/lib/openoffice/program/soffice.bin

results in a trace ending with:

open("/usr/lib/openoffice/program/resource/ofa680en-US.res", O_RDONLY) = 19
lseek(19, 0, SEEK_END)                  = 18666
lseek(19, 0, SEEK_CUR)                  = 18666
lseek(19, 18662, SEEK_SET)              = 18662
lseek(19, 0, SEEK_CUR)                  = 18662
lseek(19, 18662, SEEK_SET)              = 18662
lseek(19, 0, SEEK_CUR)                  = 18662

lseek(19, 0, SEEK_CUR)                  = 18170
lseek(19, 18170, SEEK_SET)              = 18170

exit_group(78)                          = ?
Process 29887 detached

touching the missing file results in it passing this point and
segfaulting when it can't find
/home/patrick/.openoffice.org2/user/config/images_human.zip

Now, this is on a clean install (over and over) and this directory,
~/.openoffice.org2 and it's contents was created by openoffice on first
running just before it faults because something is missing there.
