Bug description:
  1) lsb_release -rd
  Description:	Ubuntu 11.10
  Release:	11.10

  2) apt-cache policy libreoffice-calc

    Installed: 1:3.4.4-0ubuntu1

    Version table:

  3) What is expected to happen in a blank LibreOffice Calc file:

  type testit in cell A1 -> File -> Save As -> File name: testit -> File type: ODF Spreadsheet (.ods) -> Save button -> Tools -> Macros -> Organize Macros -> LibreOffice Basic... -> click testit.ods -> 
  Organizer... -> select testit.ods -> click New -> OK button -> with Module1 highlighted click New -> in the text box Name: ThisWorkbook -> OK button -> Close button -> Close button -> Save -> File -> Exit and reopen by double clicking the file or via the Terminal:

  libreoffice --calc testit.ods

  and it opens successfully.

  4) What happens instead is the document is blank and the Terminal
  shows:

  libreoffice --calc testit.ods
  Entity: line 1: parser error : Start tag expected, '<' not found
  PK
  ^

  WORKAROUND: Open it via the Terminal command:

  libreoffice testit.ods

  WORKAROUND: After opening via the above workaround, copy the entire
  sheet from testit.ods into a new, blank Calc document, save the
  document and then one may open via the expected Terminal commands or
  by double clicking.
