sample ODT showing PUA Unicode being applied to OpenSymbol glyphs

So this really is continuing. Just the StarSymbol font name is not being
applied:

STR for attached document

1. new Writer document
2. insert a draw Text box on document
3. use Special character dialog and select OpenSymbol font
4. enter a string of OpenSymbol glyphs via Special Character dialog
5. change anchor to page and drag aside
6. Ctrl+C select the string in the Draw text box
7. paste into a paragraph with Ctrl+V -- what is pasted?
8. paste special into a paragraph with Ctrl+Shift+V and select unformatted --
what is pasted?

9. new paragraph, change its font to OpenSymbol
10. Ctrl+C copy string from Draw text box
11. Ctrl+V paste into the paragraph with OpenSymbol font -- what is pasted?
13. Ctrl+Shift+V paste special as "unformatted text" -- what is pasted?

At some point the labeling of the pasted OpenSymbol text string as StarSymbol
was removed--but the handling of OpenSymbol and mapping of the Unicode to PUA
was not corrected.

Pasting a string of OpenSymbol should retain the assigned Unicode for the font.
Behavior now seems a hold over from StarOffice era.
