Simple ODT showing the grayscale output in place of colour

I have created a simple ODT document with Libreoffice 3.5.4 which
illustrates the problem on my system.  It consists of a single frame
(insert-frame, keep default settings) with a colour assigned to the background
with 50% transparency.  I put some red text to the left of this to confirm that
colour is being processed.  I then did an export to PDF without changing
default options.  These tests were done under Slackware 13.37.

When viewing this in xpdf 3.02, the frame is drawn with a 50% gray.  The red 
text is red.

When viewing this with epdfview 0.1.8 the frame has the correct colour, as does
the red text.

When printing this via CUPS 1.4.6 on a colour HP postscript printer set for
colour output the frame is printed with a 50% gray background while the red
text is shown as red.

It seems there's something about the exported PDF which isn't being interpreted
correctly by some PDF readers.  The showstopper for me is that CUPS seems to be
one of those which is affected by the problem, so consequently printing is too.
