This may be a good project for me to participate in, along with people
who know AOO internals. I have a lot of practical experience with
tracking down and fixing extremely obscure intermittent bugs in
operating systems and prototypes of cache coherent multiprocessor
servers, so I'm not scared of them.
Now getting AOO to build on Windows 8.1......
great, this is indeed one of our most anoying bugs. If there is a way to
fix it, please try to help here. I could think of changing the order of
files that get written on AOO shutdown.

As I see it, because registrymodifications.xcu lists the "history" of
OpenOffice's activity, it should (must?) be written as the last file in closedown.
of course this needs to be analyzed in detail if it's possible to change
the order for file saving.
There are historic reasons (limited disk space?) for the automatic backup
setting not to be checked; with modern disk sizes I doubt that this is now
valid and we should change that setting to cause automatic backup by default in
future releases.
Limited disk space must be indeed an old reason we shouldn't take into
account nowadays. But as you wrote "reasons", do you know any more?

Is there a Bugzilla # on this?

a) There is an extremely obscure, semi-inconsistently ir-reproducible
bug in AOo, EO, and LibO that is triggered when "Always create backup
copy" is checked. This bug both destroys data, and prevents the backup
copy from being made.
b) Manually saving the file is superior to automated backup, precisely
one can save it to different folders, and thus rollback to earlier
states is possible. (I'm deliberately ignoring OoSVN here.)
