I have been able to downgrade my libreoffice installation to the
previous version, using these commands:

0) First, check all libreoffice related packages you have into a file:

dpkg -l  | grep libreoffice | tee libreoffice-packages

1) Then, purge all libreoffice packages

sudo apt-get remove --purge libreoffice-core libreoffice-common
libreoffice-style-oxygen

2) Then install the bulk of the previous version:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-core=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 libreoffice-
common=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 libreoffice-style-
oxygen=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 libreoffice-kde=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2
libreoffice=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 libreoffice-base=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2
libreoffice-calc=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 libreoffice-
draw=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 libreoffice-impress=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2
libreoffice-math=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 libreoffice-
writer=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 python3-uno=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2
libreoffice-base-core=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2 libreoffice-base-
drivers=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu2

3) Now, manually add as many of the packages that you had additionally
(check the contents of the libreoffice-packages file you created in the
0) step), as you can. In my case:

sudo apt-get install libreoffice-l10n-da=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu1
libreoffice-help-da=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu1 libreoffice-help-en-
us=1:4.2.3~rc3-0ubuntu1


I now have a working libreoffice installation that uses the KDE file dialog. 

One problem is left: that any apt-get upgrade will want to upgrade my
libreoffice installation, but I think you can mark them as "hold" for
the package system, if you want to avoid this. I'll handle it manually
for now.
