Yes, it still happens. I "sanitized" (semi-anonymized) the source
document, then created a data file with nine fake addresses, and merged
it, creating the same result. When I merge this document, I see two
copies of each image in the output file, with the duplicate image
floating near the top of each page.

Steps to create & link data: I created the data in a spreadsheet, then
copied and pasted as unformatted text into a text document (to create a
tab delimited data source with a proper header row) then used the
Address Data Source wizard to connect the data file to the "Invitation
graphics sanitized.odt" document.

[I will include all four files, but you can probably recreate it with
fewer. I know there should be a better way, but after trying several
different things this procedure produced a merged document most
reliably.]

[I apologize if there are still dead links to the old data or spurious
fields in there... has anyone ever mentioned OpenOffice's database and
merge tools are difficult to work with ;-) ]
