Ah, interesting :-)) - as far as I know, no new development (as in
addition of new features) has been made to either the ORB or the
original report designer within the LO project, but I haven't checked
the git log for a while to see if there were any commits.

One way to check this would be to do a comparison of the XML making up
the content.xml of the two Writer ODF files. That way, it would be
possible to see the difference between the original and the new. Perhaps
the difference lies in the use of the ODF 1.2 spec which is the default
for 3.5 - my understanding was that ODF 1.2 had some new attributes that
were possibly ignored (silently dropped) in ODF 1.1 ?
