The problem with our assertions is that many of them are checking for conditions that the code thinks shouldn't happen but that indeed can happen at runtime if e.g. a strange document is used. Others point to only minor problems or better should be seen as warnings, some indeed reveal serious problems. The one you mentioned above looks like it could belong to the last category. I CC'ed "od" as he requested to become informed. :-) Overall the assertion code in OOo needs some maintenance; some problems and false assertions have been fixed meanwhile but theses fixes are available only in the most recent builds on the SRC680 code line. Anyway, if you come across an assertion you can treat it as a bug and submit an issue.
