This is a tracker bug for OOo issue #75052 http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=75052 See there for more details.
There's some confusing activity on http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=75052, but seems as though they've closed it as fixed. Rich, can you please check to see if the problem has been fixed?
Removing target milestone from [blocked] bugs. We have little control over them, so we're better off letting priority and severity be our guide for poking the related components.
This seems to be nicely fixed in the OOo 2.2.1 RC2 (build OOF680_m17) snapshot I downloaded from their website. Closing as FIXED.
