The help files within ooffice (2.0.4) say 
"-nodefault Starts without displaying any window."

but as you say the command line help disagrees.

Judging by mine and James experience, from the command
prompt try:
ooffice -nodefault
when the splash screen disappears kill ooffice with
control-c then start ooffice normally and see what
default document it starts with.

I've no idea how you get the default document back,
but thats a problem for another day :)

I suspect the nodefault option should open without a
document and the general weirdness in the behaviour of
this option is a bug in ooffice.
