In fact, this issue is larger than just macros.

LibreOffice 3.6, when upgraded from 3.5, reverts some files in userdir with
default ones. I am attaching list of affected files (files-that-differ.txt).
There might be more than that, though.

Most configuration is held in registrymodifications.xcu file. On upgrade, LO
does not migrate all settings from this file. Among lost ones are:
- language of UI
- user data (name, address etc.)
- measure unit setting (see #53587)
- info about default template
I am attaching file that shows which information were in 3.5, but are not
migrated to 3.6 (removed-in-3.6.txt). Again, there might be more than that.

Finally, I am attaching tar.xz archive (LO-3.6-erases-user-data.tar.xz) that
contains my userdir from 3.5 and from 3.6. See README file in archive for
details. It might be useful while reproducing this bug and checking fixes (just
copy content of user-3.5 into your userdir and launch LO 3.6).

BUT at least part of data is lost only on initial launch (first launch after
upgrade). If I copy config/standard.soc from 3.5 to userdir after 3.6 was
launched at least once, then LO will not overwrite my settings with defaults.
This is most likely related to LastCompatibilityCheckID key in
/org.openoffice.Setup/Office property (registrymodifications.xcu)

To sum things up:
- LO fails to migrate some user settings on upgrade from 3.5 to 3.6;
- this causes loss of data of various importance
- software upgrade MUST NOT cause loss of user data
