I am using Linux, however I found that the flat XML ODF files require an 
office:mimetype attribute to the office:document root-element. Not doing 
this will make LibreOffice (3.4.3) fail to open the document as ODF, but 
instead as plain text.

So adding:

    office:mimetype="application/vnd.oasis.opendocument.text"

did the trick for me !
