sadly /cores/ remains empty. I called the unopkg add extension.oxt after
executing the ulimit -c unlimited

Any other way to get some information? (besides compiling LibreOffice
and adding debug things here and there).

Initially I thought that LO would not execute any code from the
extension on the installation step. I guess that it can call some
post-installation method for setting up (I've seen it in some other
extensions).

If someone wants to try to install the extension: it's here:
http://pinux.info/files/Mendeley-1.8.4.oxt
Fails here on Mac, but maybe someone wants to give a try.
