Thanks for that. Do you know how often we would need to recompile
extensions for Calc? Every major release, or every minor release, or
less often?

Worst case, every major release (like 4.1 -> 4.2).

Does it matter that the API changes at all, or only if
the bits used by the add-in have changed?

The later.

Is there a way, without
careful re-testing, to determine whether or not one can expect a
simple Calc Add-In to be compatible with a given version of
LibreOffice?

You can't avoid testing if you develop software, but one systematic way
is to read the release notes of major releases, there such changes are
documented, e.g. for 4.1:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/ReleaseNotes/4.1#API_Changes

and then see if any of the changes API's are used by your extension.
