I agree that cdeval's solution is relatively easy to implement, but I don't
understand one thing:
If the information that a formula is baseline aligned with the surrounding text
is not stored in the file, how is the OOo Math module supposed to know after
reloading such a document that the user wanted the formula to be aligned in such
way? OOo would never know THAT it has to check and (if necessary) recalculate
the vertical alignment, as far as I understand this approach.

This sounds like a bad hack to me. In every software professional for
professional use (and I assume OOo is such software), the user must be able to
RELY on the software to follow a decision the user has once done. If the user
tells OOo that a certain formula must be aligned correctly with the text, then
the user will simply expect OOo to maintain this state, no matter if the
document is closed/reopened, text size is changed, the formula is changed or
whatever! Any solution that requires the user to remember to update the formula
or all formulae explicitly should only be short term solution.
