So, I think we have finally figured out the cause of the issue.  The
kernel on the m10 is aarch64 as denoted by uname -a:

$ uname -a
Linux ubuntu-phablet 3.10.93+ #11 SMP PREEMPT Wed Jan 13 08:30:56 EST 2016 aarch64 aarch64 aarch64 GNU/Linux

We use proot to call into the unprivileged Puritine chroot which
intercepts syscalls.  Given that proot is 32-bit armhf, the syscalls
don't match up with the kernel, so they fail.  For example, in this
case, the mkdir() syscall is failing which is causing Libreoffice to
fail in creating the user profile.

We are trying to come up with a some sort of workable solution, but
unfortunately due to using 32-bit armhf Ubuntu on the m10, this will not
be easy and quick.
