I tried with a clean new user account and could not reproduce this problem. 
After tweaking all kinds of 
language settings, I found what triggered the problem. I used customized 
British English locale settings 
(under 'Formats' in 'Language & Text'). Setting this to Dutch made the problem 
go away. Making 
changes to the Dutch settings does not seem to trigger any problems, switching 
back to my British 
English locale settings reintroduces the problem.

I run a recent clean install of Snow Leopard. The same problem occurred on 
Leopard before the 
reinstall, so I assume the problem is caused by a corrupted file in my home 
directory, but I do not know 
which one. Since my home directory and settings have in use since Tiger and 
more people experience 
this problem, it might also be caused by  an old locale settings file that for 
some reason is incompatible 
with Leopard and Snow Leopard.

If others can confirm the problems go away by changing their locale settings, 
this bug can probably be 
closed. I also noticed that a tab completions issue in the zsh commandline 
shell went away after these 
changes, so OOo is not the only package affected by this bug.

I do not know whether OOo can force the file system charset in the code, this 
could prevent the 
problem from occurring and should not cause problems, since all OSX system use 
the same encoding as 
far as I know. On the other hand I'm not 100% sure this will not introduce 
others problems and the 
number of people affected seems small.
