Yes, that's it. I solved it myself a few moments ago but hadn't quite 
prepared a reply yet...

I found this page, that points out that the user profile has indeed 
moved in 3.5.x: http://wiki.documentfoundation.org/Documentation/UserProfile

The old one was in ~/.libreoffice/3 and now I see that there is actually 
an empty file there called MIGRATED.

Tools - Options - LibreOffice - Paths pointed me to the new location, 
~/.config/libreoffice/3, which had an empty Scripts folder. When I moved 
my old python folder into that, everything started working.

The comments on this bug report
https://www.libreoffice.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=46052
suggest to me that LibreOffice does no migration at all, could that be 
true? In that case, who did it? Ubuntu?

Anyway, thanks for all the clues!
