It has to because a sheet named Sheet1X does not exist.
<span class="quote">> 8. Click on the cell A1 and look at the content - "Sheet1X.A5" changed to

That's debatable. If the reference string was left as it was entered wrongly,
in a longer formula expression you wouldn't even see which part of the
expression was wrong.

It has to be #REF! because the ODF OpenFormula specification specifies that an
invalid reference is to be written as #REF!. Earlier versions wrote the more
detailed but wrong #REF!.A5 string, that has been fixed which seems to be
viewed as regression. It is not.</pre>
