Oh man, that is hell. I wish I had some suggestions, but I have no
experience with or access to Ubuntu or 64-bit hardware.
I couldn't tell: have you tried any of the OO.org downloads? Oh wait, I
guess they don't have any 64-bit builds. Never mind--sorry.
With your hint however, I did find that the change came with Gtk 2.10:
GTK+ - GTK+-2.10 Release notes

GTK+ 2.10 Specific Notes
========================
* The hexadecimal Unicode input feature has been reworked. It no longer
blocks the use of the sixteen Ctrl-Shift-<hex digit> key sequences. Now
it only uses Ctrl-Shift-u.
...
And some helpful discussion here:

As Fedora 5 is still using Gtk+ 2.8, that explains why Ctrl+Shift+u
doesn't work for me. But it still doesn't explain why OOo doesn't use
the old Ctrl+Shift+xxxx.
Thanks for your feedback; I hope you get things settled down soon.
