Did you tell her OOo does not have this "feature"

I remember doing some work on currency conversions and excel was
*illegal* as (at the time) it did not conform to EU conversion
accuracies as it could not guarantee more than 8 DP's of precision
before and after a two way conversion.

Also rounding errors with some of the south american currencies
were just insane!

I would hope peer review would reduce the possibility.
I would hope the OO team would include this as a test now
(cannot hurt!).
