Hm, cannot reproduce this on Linux at least.  When I consistently change 
all the file URLs in user/config/javasettings_Linux_X86_64.xml 
(including the ones encoded in the <vendorData>!) from the 
file:///usr/lib/jvm/... used on my machine to a non-existing 
file:///usrXX/lib/jvm/..., then restart soffice.bin directly (instead of 
soffice wrapper, to avoid interference with a confused javaldx), and 
start the Letter wizard, LO complains about a broken Java installation 
and does not crash.
