Why should it?
it's not openoffice.org, it's libreoffice. Different thing. I don't
see why a aptitude install -t squeeze-backports openoffice.org should do
anything.
The transitional packages mainly are for dist-upgrades (squeeze->wheezy,
preplacing the installed OOo with LibO), which you hopefully won't do
with squeeze-backports on full prio.

which is correct. They are not supposed to be co-installable.
Why is it backports' problem?

Backporting them will cause a load of hassle to again operate some
transitional packages out which have no place in squeeze because there
is transitional packages for other transitions which didn't (and hopefully
won't) take place in squeeze-backports. Thus I didn't upload that yet
(actually I accidentially uploaded a backport with many of those packages
uninstallable/broken for exactly this reason - all openoffcie.org-hyphenation
and openoffice.org-thesaurus stuff for example; same with all the out of tree
OOo/LibO extensions)
