On upstream's (and Ubuntu's) OpenOffice.org 2.4.0~rc2 it doesn't crash any more but instead displays this:

Error saving the document kaser_0208:
Write Error.
The file could not be written.

I reported about same issue on https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/452876.
On ubuntu 9.04 i found the solution good for me:
1. Remove all openoffice* and sun-java* packages.
2. Go to the site http://download.openoffice.org/other.html#ru
3. Choose "Include the Java JRE ..."
4. Download version suitable for me:
(Russian 3.1.1) (Linux 32-bit DEB)
or http://openoffice.bouncer.osuosl.org/?product=OpenOffice.org&os=linuxinteldeb&lang=ru&version=3.1.1
5. Unpack downloaded file
6. Launch file update in unpacked directory
Hope, this helps somebody.

This was fixed a long time ago but I forgot to close out the bug. The issue cropped back up temporarily in jaunty timeframe due to attempting to use system saxon library. You must have openoffice.org-java-common installed for this to work though.

Really, installing openoffice.org-java-common has solved task.
But how should user know about that he need to install it?
It would be great if message about JRE needing tells user about packages to install or redirect to site, where shoud be packages names for user system.

There are several areas in OOo that warn to install that package but it can't warn in every spot that uses Java. Pretty much you need to have openoffice.org-java-common installed at minimum if you do much of anything in OOo, and perferably the 'openoffice.org' package as well which pulls most everything else in. Unfortunately neither of those packages will fit on the Ubuntu CD which is why they aren't installed by default.
