Latest LibreOffice-Updates didn't have the issue any more in my case,
that I have to correct the strings after the update.

My system is an Ubuntu 12.04 (manually upgraded kernel to
3.8.0-44-generic #66~precise1-Ubuntu SMP Tue Jul 15 04:01:04 UTC 2014
x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux).

So for my case I can confirm the fix.
