This alone is (imho) no (non-)serious data loss because you a) still have the copy on the Mac and b) it can easily be worked around (by closing OOo). Of course, if you remove the old copy.... You didn't say move, though, but copy. And mv (at least on Linux) only removes the original file when the mv is successful (afaik). And how did you use the file anyway? Using OOo on the Mac and just copy it over? Or using OOo on your "normal" system (saving to that samba share on the Mac) and then trying to copy it from there while OOo still being open?
