It turns out that I agree with you, Nikolaus, especially given that it seems the issue is on OO's end.
Anyway, I found a workaround that is fine for my needs: Click on the "Edit this File" button in OpenOffice. (Between the PDF icon and the Email icon on the normal toolbar) and it pretty much does what I want. The problem was that it was in no way obvious that this icon even existed, let alone would do what I want it to.
