This is still observed in LibreOffice, at least in Ubuntu 11.04. Here my version details:
LibreOffice 3.3.3 
OOO330m19 (Build:301)
tag libreoffice-3.3.3.1, Ubuntu package 1:3.3.3-1ubuntu2

There is an obvious (?) woraround for this, consisting in adding {} after (or before) the equal sign, so that the expression "equals to something".  For example in this manner:
a+b_ij = {} newline {}= c+d

Perhaps instead of fixing this, it would suffice to clearly say
somewhere in the manual that something MUST exist before and after and
equal sign or plus sign, etc.  And that if one wants to "equal to
nothing", it's still necessary to put something, typically  {}. Also
possible is "".

Title:
  Math equation editor: "newline" fails sometimes

Status in LibreOffice Productivity Suite:
  New
Status in The OpenOffice.org Suite:
  In Progress
Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete
Status in “openoffice.org” package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: openoffice.org

  Using Ubuntu = 8.04;  OOo = 1:2.4.1

  The "newline" command is supposed to start a new line in your
  equation. Sometimes it doesn't work

  If "newline" is preceded or followed by some characters (as +, -, =,
  which are often needed), some error marks "¿" are obtained, and
  perhaps only a single line if displayed (it depends on the character
  and its relative position to "newline"). Examples :

  a+b_ij = newline = c+d    # single line; error mark
  a+b_ij newline = c+d      # two lines; missing "="; error mark
  a+b_ij newline + c+d      # correct behaviour !!  The "+" sign does fine after newline...
  a+b_ij + newline c+d     # ... but not before: single line, error mark here
  a+b_ij = newline c+d     # single line, error mark. The "=" sign does bad whether after or before newline

  Hope this helps to catch the bug.
