That proved to hard for me but at least there's a workaround:

The problem only occurs if there's more than one placeholder
on any single line. So, either don't do that ;-) or else
use the old method of creating *explicit* placeholders:

In OOo, when creating the .ott, go to

        Insert -> Field ... -> Other

- select tab "Functions"

- select "Placeholder" from the list on the left

- select "Text" from the list in the middle

- type the placeholder into the field at the top right under
  "Placeholder"

That will allow you to put several placeholders on one line.

In passing I fixed a bug which only occurs if there's an
invalid placeholder in an OOo template.
