Not that I understand what's going here, but ...

This could be related to annoyance I have. It confuses the heck out of
my wife, and it's basically Document Recovery having a design fault.
(That's assuming I've identified the symptoms right - I don't suffer the
problem so I haven't really investigated.)

Scenario
Open a document in LO from eg Thunderbird, so it's actually in /tmp
Someone else shuts down the system, effectively killing Writer
Open Writer again

The document recovery pane basically gives you two options, to attempt
recovery, or to abort recovery (which will then try again next time).
Neither is appropriate when you know that the document no longer exists

Cheers,
