Nah, your description very much sounds like 
<https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=695925> 
"GUINT32/64_SWAP_LE_BE macros do not enclose val argument in 
parentheses," the fix for which Ubuntu only applied very recently IIRC.

(I assume the 4.0.4 you installed was the generic 
<http://www.libreoffice.org/download> one, not one provided by Ubuntu? 
In which case it would be clear why the bug disappeared then---the 
generic build uses a different software stack to access Samba files than 
the distro builds do, and that other stack is not affected by the issue 
mentioned above.)
