It is. Here is the original Ubuntu bug that I filed back in 2007:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/openoffice.org/+bug/93546

Thunderbird works in standard OOo & LibreOffice (linux 3.3.0 versions),
however in OOo (and LO) there are still issues with using SeaMonkey
address books, see:
http://www.openoffice.org/issues/show_bug.cgi?id=107809

Ubuntu LO 3.3.0 (Natty Alpha 11.04 - OOO330m19 Build6) is still missing
the address books listed in 93546.

LO 3.3.0 (standard .deb installed on Ubuntu 10.10) has the same issues
as 107809 - I reckon that they used the same code as OOo 3.3.0. But an
LO dev is aware of the issue & hopefully working on it.
