Please try to provide logs of what you are doing and seeing on the
screen in addition to (or instead of) summarising in your own words; it
helps me understand what exactly you have done, and the responses you
received.

OK.

Yes, I had noticed you said that; the problem is, nothing actually
changed in setup in recent versions so something else must have changed
to trigger the (probably already existing) bug. The question is..
what. People have occasionly reported segfaults in setup but they are
usually related to fonts or video drivers.
Is there anything created under ~/.openoffice before the segfault? If
so you might find setup.log - if so please post it since it may provide
a clue to which stage the segfault occured.
Does the same segfault happen if you run /usr/lib/openoffice/setup
directly?
It's a little strange that you got so little information from the gdb
backtrace, too. I see from the gdb output you posted (thanks :) that
you used a corefile. Sometimes I find I get better results by letting
the crash happen under gdb instead of using a corefile:
cd /usr/lib/openoffice/program; LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/lib/openoffice/program gdb ./setup.bin
Then type 'run' at the (gdb) prompt, wait for the crash and enter
'thread apply all bt full' at the next prompt.
