My mistake. Quickstart WAS active. I noticed a strange icon in the notification area (near the volume control et al.), and when I hovered the mouse pointer over it it announced that it was OpenOffice Quickstarter 3.1.
My understanding was that Quickstart was only active after one had used OpenOffice, and then closed it - it would then start quickly the next time in the same session. There is apparently a way to have it survive reboots, and that option was active. I selected the option to close Quickstart, and the OpenOffice-emailmerge update sailed through with nary a hiccough. Sorry for the inconvenience.
