Well, I made some farther tests (also using OO 3.0.1 and LO 4.0.1.2 - 
both portable versions). It seems that all of these builds are affected, 
so I wasn't quite strict previously. Anyway, I found the solution 
(however the results are a little bit odd to me). Let say there is some 
text e.g.:

Arg aarega aerga aerg
arga opjwg nklsawertg
Wnmikfg erger 8
fm fbdklfn bfg'mlkfg

I want to put a tab in the end of each line. If I search for $ and 
replace it with \t\n I will get the following result (\t is treated 
literally):

Arg aarega aerga aerg\t
arga opjwg nklsawertg\t
Wnmikfg erger 8\t
fm fbdklfn bfg'mlkfg\t

But if I search for last symbol of each line by putting .$ and replace 
it with &\t I got what I wanted (i.e. tab in the end of each line).

Two step approach also works. I can search for the line ending mark 
using $ and replace it with any temporary symbol that will be replaced 
by tab \t later on.

I still don't know why $ expression can't be replaced into \t directly.
