Reproducible with "Ooo-Dev 3.3.0 multilingual version German UI WIN XP:
[DEV300m71 (Build 9481)]"! 

Pls see my "sample.ods", what contains 3 cells 'A1:A3' with text formatting and
text contents and 3 formulas (add 1 to value of A-cell) in 'B1:B3'
With 3.1 all 'A' cells are calculated with value "0"

In 3.3. Formatting for a-Cells still is shown as "text", but
- Text content looking as numbers is used as number. 
  That looks like a feature, but i dislike it. My opinion: You can't 
  calulate with text, and so error message "#VALUE!" should be shown.
- In 3.3. a text like "SSS" will no longer be calculated with value "0", but
  it will be indicated as an illegal "impurity" for a numeric calculation.
  That's consequent, it was a bug in former versions not to show the error
  message.

If a user had text strings in his calculations and trusted to use as "0" he did
it on his own risk.

Of course, a "3.1 compatibility mode" that calculates test strings as "0" would
have been great, but I don't believe that an enhancement request wolud be useful
- a solution would come too late.

Pls see comments and links in Issue 109165 !
