I've been using btrfs for temp storage, for more than a year, and haven't noticed any problems with specific packages (libroffice builds fine). The only problems I've experienced are: 1) Intermittent ENOSPC when unpacking lots of files. Maybe this is related to having compression enabled. I haven't experienced it lately, so maybe it's fixed in recent kernels. 2) Bug 353907 [1] which is fixed in recent kernels and coreutils.
