OK. LO 3.3.4 (Windows) installed w/o any 'Sample XSLT' filters (same
test files as before):

- .fods & .fodt only open as text files.

Add the 'Sample XSLT' filters (setup.exe|Modify|Optional Components|XSLT
Sample Filters|

- .fods & .fodt open properly as ODF files

So it appears that this wasn't an LO package issue & perhaps was/is a LO
profile issue. I'll add my notes/tests to the
https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=35580
bug report.

Apologies for the noise & we now return you to one of the original
questions in this thread asked by e-letter: "Is there a logical reason
why xslt filters need to be selected manually for installation?"

IMO: good question & hopefully e-letter will file a bug report regarding
that.
