Sorry, but for MY version of LibreOffice I cannot confirm your 
statements. I checked them out just a moment ago, with the current 
complete setup of LibreOffice in Ubuntu 12.04.

Always the error message (in German) is "Fehler: Ungültiger Name", which 
would be translated into: "Error: Invalid (function) name"

The reported LibreOffice version number is:

LibreOffice 3.5.2.2
Build-ID: 350m1(Build:202)


Anyhow: Thanks for looking into this thing!

Kind regards,

        Peter
