Executive summary: I assume that very few people will trigger the same
problem which is very obscure anyway. I further assume that you can
close this bug, at least I have been able to work around it.

Yep, I noticed.
I'm now working around this problem by running OpenOffice.org as
listener in the background on a headless X server:
soffice -display :0.0 -norestore -headless \
"-accept=socket,host=localhost,port=2002;urp;StarOffice.ComponentContext"
With this in background unoconv does not has problems anymore.

I used the one from testing/lenny.
