Not that I know of. As you suggest, what you need is an Export As CSV 
function rather than the existing Save As CSV function.

But there may be a workaround:
o Have both .ods and .csv files open simultaneously in Calc.
o Instead of using Save As from the .ods file, copy the relevant 
material (it cannot be more than part of a single sheet) from the 
.ods file and paste it into the .csv file.
o Save the .csv file - or Save As if you need a new file name.
o Swap back to the .ods file (Alt+Tab?) to continue working.

I trust this helps.
