I had the same problem on a 64bit install of Feisty. Got very frustrated since I could not open at all some old documents with tables and entry fields - openoffice would crash immediately after opening. I also checked and could reproduce all crashes described above.
I installed the openoffice.org package (strangely this package was not installed) and reinstalled openoffice.org-base . I did this pretty hastily but I think this is the only thing I did. Some other java related packages got installed as dependencies. After this everything works. Hope this helps. It seems like a default packages selection problem.
I think I fixed this on my install!
