Looks like it had been a pretty rough start for you ... Tried one more
round in reproducing the problem. But I cannot reproduce it at all.

If someone helps me in reproducing the bug, I will be happy to address
it in no time.

To encourage new users to try out the OpenOffice exporter, I have
revised the instructions in "How to export to OpenOffice?" section of
the README.org file.

- http://repo.or.cz/w/org-mode/oo.git/blob/HEAD:/contrib/odt/README.org

I suggest that you download the entire repo or the snapshot. Check that
you are using the URL that ends in "oo.git".

I am *pretty confident* that the OpenOffice exporter can handle simple
text - headlines, paragraphs, lists - very reliably.

How I tried reproducing the problem and failed:

1. I freshly cloned the repository.
2. Started emacs without any customization.
   "C:\Program Files\emacs-23.1.91\bin\runemacs.exe" --debug-init -Q
3. M-: (setq org-odt-base-dir "~/src/oo/") RET
4. M-x (load-file (expand-file-name "./contrib/odt/setup.el" org-odt-base-dir))
5. C-x C-f desc_test_short_2.org
6. I did a C-c C-e O.
7. I am seeing that OpenOffice launches and opens the file
   desc_test_short_2.odt without any complaints.
