I tested it again with LibO 3.5.6.2 and the problem persists. Therefore here
some further information:

In my setup, for users with roaming profiles, %APPDATA% points to a UNC
(\\<server>\<share>\AppData\<user>), while for users with local profiles
it points to the default Win7 location using a local path 
(C:\Users\<user>\AppData\Roaming).

For both - local and roaming users - the configuration directory structure
(including/below %APPDATA%\LibreOffice\3\user) is created when first starting
LibO. However, %APPDATA%\LibreOffice\3\user\registrymodifications.xcu (which
holds the majority of config options) is only created for local users. It
further seems like roaming users cannot read from this file, since pasting a
copy from a local user into the existing tree structure of a roaming user does
not transfer the respective settings (they do not appear in the Tools->Options
dialog).

Hence the question: Does your %APPDATA% point to a UNC or not?
