The testing directory for openoffice.org does not correspond to the testing distribution of Debian. They simply have the same name. The testing directory for openoffice.org contains packages which have been tested and have no major problems. The unstable directory contains the latest builds and packages, and may contain uncaught errors. Currently, the openoffice.org-bin package version 1.0.1-5 depends on a version of libgcc1 in Debian/unstable. This library is being kept back from Debian/testing whilst various transitions take place in unstable. You can either wait until the Debian/unstable packages trickle into testing, upgrade to Debian/unstable, build openoffice.org packages against testing, or use the openoffice.org packages which have been built against Woody. Personally, I'm waiting until the libraries trickle into testing (for my Debian/testing machine) and may install the Woody packages on my Woody machine (currently running the 1.0.1-3 with some older Debian/unstable libraries).
