It's not possible create new formulas or edit existing created in older versions.

After downgrading to 3.4.5 problem persists, so a clean reinstall could probably fix it.

In Mac OS after upgrading to 3.5 version, even uninstalling and returning to previous version, the problem appear in this version too.

To solve the problem, delete the installation folder and all Libre Office settings  folders (AppData on Windows,don't know about Mac).Then install 3.5.

As of posting this I have resolved the issue and am not certain that installing 3.4.5 and upgrading would replicate the problem.

I had the same issue. I deleted all .libreoffice directory i found into .config and root directories and reinstalled libreoffice 3.5.0. Now the math module works again.
