This is:
- a clearcut upstream issue, and it taken care of there
- wishlist/feature request unlikely to be fixable with a simple patch
- wont be fixed in libreoffice packaging
Resolving as WONTFIX in libreoffice packaging. This does not mean the issue will not be cared about, but if it is cared about (even by Ubuntu/Canonical contributors), it is done upstream at LibreOffice. 

Libreoffice (Ubuntu) => WONTFIX

** Changed in: libreoffice (Ubuntu)
       Status: Triaged => Won't Fix

  3) What is expected to happen is when one opens a new spreadsheet, and
  types in first row, first column:

  =sqrt(-1)

  and it displays Err:502 pressing F1 for help on this error presents
  information regarding how this can be caused by a negative under a
  square root.

  4) For LibreOffice Error Code 502 Explanation at:
  http://help.libreoffice.org/Calc/Error_Codes_in_Calc

  currently is:

  "Function argument is not valid, for example, a negative number for the root
  function."

  It would be nice if it was:

  "Function argument is not valid. For example, a negative number for the SQRT()
  function, for this please use IMSQRT()."

  For OOo Error Code Explanation at:
  http://wiki.services.openoffice.org/wiki/Calc_Error_Codes

  currently is:

  "A function argument has an invalid value, e.g. a negative number for
  the root function."

  It would be nice if it was:

  "Function argument is not valid. For example, a negative number for the SQRT()
  function, for this please use IMSQRT()."
