Same here (3.0.1 on Fedora Linux).
I think it's because OOo is faking (crudely) a boldface font where there
is no designed bold version.
I get the correct results using Liberation Mono +/- bold, but there are
two distinct fonts in that case:
LiberationMono-Bold.ttf: Liberation Mono
LiberationMono-Regular.ttf: Liberation Mono
For Lucida Console, I have only one font file--I suspect that OOo is
synthesizing the bold characters but failing to keep the character
spacing the same.
I'd call this a bug for monospaced fonts, but the synthetic bold may not
be useful if the spacing were kept constant (characters running
together), and it hardly seems worth the effort to fix when a workaround
is easy: install the matching bold face (if there is one), or use a
different font that has both weights.

Yes but in the Writer the bold font looks OK. I don't see why it
shouldn't in Calc. It seems to me that they only have to replace the
revelant code of the Calc with that of the Writer...
