I have this same bug on 17.10, more details here https://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=2385813&p=13743523#post13743523
I could reproduce the bug with a user to make libreoffice fail and make libreoffice start normally. Problem is related to me having my homedire not under /home/user but under another mountpoint /data/home/user The bug persists even if /etc/password contains /data/home/user If /etc/passwd contains /home/user which is a symlink to /data/home/user, libreoffice won't start. If I move the homdirectory completely to /home/user, the libreoffice starts without problems. This was tested with a newly created user.
