Example ods file to test the problem

Hi,

The latest releases from OOo and also LO are showing a compatibility problem
with older versions of OOo still in use, in particular in what regards to text
boxes inside spreadsheets.  There are several issues and several ways to
reproduce, but all of them related to text boxes and using older OOo versions.

So, for example, opening the ods file attached and saving it into the same or a
new ods, breaks the format of the text and the placement of the textboxes. 
This file was created a long time ago as an xls, then saved into an ods and
editted with various versions of OOo.  It's worked fine until the arrival of
OOo 3.X and now LO is exhibiting the same problems.

Another way of reproducing the same problem is to open an xls file that has a
textbox, edit it with OOo and save, keeping the xls format.  The textboxes and
text format also breaks in this case.

What does seem to work, however, is creating a new file in OOo 3.X / LO with
textboxes and then edit that file with the older OOo 2.X version.  So, it looks
like the format of the textboxes was changed in a way that is not compatible,
when in the textbox was created in an xls, even if the file had been saved as
an ods long ago.

Steps to reproduce: open the attached file in OOo 3.X / LO, make a trivial
change and save.  Open the resulting file in OOo 2.X.  The text format is all
broken.

I'm attaching the test file, I'll be attaching the resulting file and
screenshots (if bugzilla lets me)
