This is an artefact of the interaction of the way OS X does the verification, and the way language 
packas are installed. Installation of the language pack changes the application, thereby making it 
invalid. After verification, OS X doesn't care anymore whether you change the application (but this 
may change in future OS versions). 

The proper way to install is (as you described above in your second attempt):

1. Install the base version of LO.
2. Open LO so that OS X will very it.
3. Close LO
4. Install the language pack.

This also applies to other LO versions and later versions of OS X.

The proper way for LO to solve this (IMHO) would be to put the language packs outside the 
application.
