Surprise. That is not a backport bit a OOo - and that with a newer shared-mime-info. Did you try using a newer shared-mime-info, too? Because the latest Ubuntu just bases on the Debian packages and AFAIS has no patches to OOo which do anything with x-ole-storage. Can you please try with 3.1.1-x in either a squeeze or sid chroot?
