This definitely looks like LO doesn't know the OpenSymbol font or forgot how to use it.
Can you try the following?

In a Writer document, choose OpenSymbol as font, and then Insert > Special Character
You will get a table of characters. About halfway the table, just above a sequence of Greek 
characters (the second set of Greek characters) ΓΔΘΛΞΠΣ, there is a vector symbol. Can you insert 
that?

You can also check in a Formula with Tools > Symbols. (or Catalog, depending on the LO version). 
Choose symbol set Special, and click Edit. You should get the same table. See if it is there, and 
then Cancel.
