Your strace lines like

look oddly truncated.  For example, there should be a
.../program/boostraprc file that soffice.bin would indeed try to open
early on.

Sorry, I just ran LO with --strace option.
Attached is the corresponding output with strace -s2048

Apart from not finding "libreoffice/program/../program/boot"
the search for "libreoffice/program/../progra" (without trailing m)
looks suspicious

With "oddly truncated" I did mean the filenames in the strace output
(which should never be truncated by strace, regardless of any -s
settings).  (And there's a typo in what I wrote, the non-truncated
filename is "bootstraprc", not "boostraprc".)

Sorry about the confusion, my bad.
I guess that misunderstandings aside we agree, that the paths looks
oddly truncated.
I have no clue why this would happen.
Any ideas?

So I just ran into a problem with a libreoffice-4-0-0 build of mine on Mac OS X whose symptoms looked very much like the above, expanding LO bootstrap variables ($UserInstallation from bootstraprc in my case) to pathnames that were oddly truncated. I tracked that down to bad calls to putenv (the code to expand bootstrap variables in sal/rtl/source/bootstrap.cxx tries to obtain values for that variables via getenv, among others, so it is susceptible to problems resulting from a broken environment), see <http://cgit.freedesktop.org/libreoffice/core/commit/?id=d841273ba54b173020aa8da18ba7841cf950c13c> "Do not call putenv with a temporary string argument."

While that fix is in Mac OS X specific code (so cannot be the cause of your Linux problems), there are more calls to putenv in the LO code base, and some of the might be broken in a similar way.
