Although I still believe this to be a libreoffice bug, I've managed to resolve it for myself. Here are the steps I took:

1. Install the libreoffice-kde4 package (or it's equivalent for your systems), including any dependencies, while re-installing the rest of libreoffice.
2. Remove the libreoffice-kde4 package.

This process worked on archlinux and the issue is resolved for me, though I don't know why.

I can't manage to reproduce on LibO 4.2.2.1 on Win7.

@bdjnks
not reproducible with 4.2.3.3 under Win7x64
try upgrading to latest version and tell us if you still see this bug.

IMHO it's clearly a packaging issue, so closing as NotOurBug.
