I get the same problem, using an external keyboard (SGI) with lenovo laptop and ubuntu 9.10 - but I'm guessing this is not a hardware issue, or an open office issue at all. Here's what I see:

type on external keyboard

wITH CAPS LOCK ON LAPTOP (LAPTOP LED IS ON)

caps lock off on laptop (laptop led is off)

cAPS LOCK ON LAPTOP (LAPTOP LED IS ON)

caps lock on external keyboard (both leds on)

In other words, the laptop keyboard and the external keyboard caps locks are being treated independently.

There may be a clue in the observation that when turning the caps lock on via the laptop keyboard, the first letter is typed in lower case, and subsequent letters are in upper case
