Ok, deny_none should conflict with deny_write, so you should see "someone else has this file open" between WinXP and the Ubuntu clients. However, for UNIX clients they need to provide mutual exclusion using byte range locks (the traditional UNIX way) not deny modes. I'm not sure if OpenOffice on Ubuntu does this (it should).
