The example mentioned in the original bug report

Searching for text using zero-length-assertions both sides and trying to replace then using $1 and so on as implicit variablles for found groups results in different errors under certain conditions. 
-1- 'Find Next' and subsequent 'Replace': No action.
-2- 'Replac All': The group variables are wrongly inserted as literals.

SAME replacements in Calc are done as expeczed.
Steps to reproduce: Too many, to difficult (for me) to describe unambiguously.

See attached example.

Tested today with LibO V 6.1.3.2 and with LibO (Dev) V 6.2.0.0.beta1.  
Both these versions still suffer from the problem.

Just tested with LibO V 6.2.3.2 Writer: Bug still present as described.
