 Importing your svg into LibreOffice I see that the y axis values are

plotted on top of the y axis, the yaxis label is written horizontally
instead of vertically, the title text is shifted to the right, and the
legend text is displaced to the right and on top of the sample
lines...apart from those minor infractions LibreOffice renders it OK :-)
It would seem that my LibreOffice has real problems knowing how to render
svg.
I will prepare a bug report with some examples.
Thanks for your help.

Terry,

Do you have "libreoffice-graphicfilter" installed?

Yes, that is installed.
I have seen some comments that Linux distro packages of LibreOffice have had problems of this sort, whilst the package from LO themselves has not, so I have been through the tedious process of removing my Fedora LO and installing the LO package from LO site, only to see the same behaviour.
Interestingly, LO Draw renders my Octave generated svg almost correctly, it leaves out the legend text, whilst LO Writer renders my svg out of proportion and with no horizontal grid lines.
Ron's svg is rendered much better, but does still causes LO problems, as I reported.
There may be some issues with Octave's generated svg format, but that certainly isn't clear as Inkscape handles Octave's svg OK.

I have lodged a bug report with LibreOffice, and hopefully will learn something from that.

On my Fedora 19 system LO (Fedora's packaging) renders Ron's svg perfectly.
