With fresh build of master sources + French UI by default here are my tests.

Open autocorrect French France, change "afirmer => affirmer" to "afirmer =>
afffirmer".
I get "afffirmer" (3 f) when I type "afirmer". I close LO and reopen and the
change is still the localized one.

I'm quite lost here :-(
