That was a lot quicker experiment than I thought it would be. I
re-opened moo.odt (the document I created and saved just before
hand-editing Writer.xcu.) and found that the tabstops in it were at 36
pt. I started a new document; in it, tabstops are being entered at 18 pt.

I just experimented (OOo 2.1, Solaris 10, x86) with tabstops (being
unwilling to dig into the code.) My instance of Write.xcu
(~/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office/Writer.xcu)
has this entry
<prop oor:name="TabStop" oor:type="xs:int"><value>1270</value></prop>
with my tab stops set to 36.0 pt (0.50 in.) [I changed from 0.39 in to
ensure I had a different value than I started with.] I changed that
value to 635, restarted Writer and found my tabstops set to 18 pt. Now
whether that is stored within the document as well, that's another
experiment. More to follow.
Is the Quickstarter maybe causing Writer to not re-read the Writer.xcu?
I know I don't have a Quickstarter running, so it doesn't affect my
results.
HTH,

I followed all the above steps. The new template is now the default.
When I saved it I had set the default tab stop in Tools > Options >

General, the default tab stop is still 56.7 points.
Today I found something else that I tried to use to force the change.
In /home/jjj/.openoffice.org2/user/registry/data/org/openoffice/Office
there is a file called Writer.xcu. I opened this in a text editor and I
found a line that said:
</prop>
<prop oor:name="TabStop" oor:type="xs:int">
<value>762</value>
</prop>
