Any chance that this gets fixed soon? Since it has been confirmed
upstream for 5 years it seems unlikely that they will ever fix it?

I can confirm that the workaround works. Start openoffice using:
LANG=C openoffice

Then create your DDE links as appropriate. Note that the path to the
linked file needs to be set using ASCII only in the DDE function. For
instance: /home/user/uträkning.ods becomes /home/user/uträkning.ods

The bug seems to stem from the fact that DDE links doesn't support UTF-8
encodings at all.
