Can you possibly clarify this?  Are you saying that you're running
OpenOffice.org 2.4.1 on Debian Lenny using the myspell-en-gb dictionary
and you're not seeing this problem?  If so then I'm amazed because I've
now found the cause of the problem and it's a horrible coding error in
the hunspell code.  If you really have a working version then I'd love
to know what version of hunspell you have installed and what your
en-GB.aff file looks like.

Surely there must be someone else on this list who uses OpenOffice.org
2.4.0 or 2.4.1 on Linux and could spare a moment to test the words I
indicated?

TIA,
John
