Here are my observations after looking into this issue:

* Using the version 4.3 available in the ppa the symlinks are created correctly (they point to correct launchers in /usr/share/applications)
* However, for Unity to launch them from the desktop they are required to be executable (which is not the case for any of the launchers - not only the libreoffice ones) - otherwise they are reported as being untrusted and refused to be launched.
* The 'untrusted check' cannot be disabled in Unity for precise.
* There are two workarounds possible:
 a) adding the +x permissions to the launchers in /usr/share/applications
 b) copying (not symlinking) the launchers in question to the user's Desktop directory and making them executable there.

Most probably this is a won't fix.
