In an off-list mail, Eugene Zaretskiy was kind enough to point me at
the annoying bugs of the release notes located here:

https://wiki.documentfoundation.org/index.php?title=ReleaseNotes/3.6#Most_annoying_bugs

Which reads in part:

# Various problems with bundled extensions. This includes, but is not
# necessarily limited to the below issues. Work-around: manually
# remove the per-user cache for bundled extensions and restart
# LibreOffice. How to do this is platform-dependend.            [sic]
# On Linux, in a terminal window enter
#   “rm -rf ~/.config/libreoffice/3/user/extensions”.
# On Mac OS X, in a Terminal window enter
#   “rm -rf ~/Library/Application\ Support/LibreOffice/3/user/extensions”.
# On Microsoft Windows, in a Command Prompt window enter
#   “rmdir /q /s %appdata%\LibreOffice\3\user\extensions”
# (and note the requirement# to restart LibreOffice twice, see above).

This did the trick for me. LibreOffice starts without problems after
deleting the user/extensions directory.
