I have a similar problem with KDE on sid.

paul@kippax:~$ dlocate -l openoffice.org | grep ^ii
ii  openoffice.org 1.0.3-2        high-quality office productivity suite
ii  openoffice.org 1.0.3-2        OpenOffice.org office suite binary 
files
ii  openoffice.org 1.0.3-2+1      Debian specific parts of 
OpenOffice.org packag
ii  openoffice.org 1.0.3-2        OpenOffice.org office suite help 
(English)
ii  openoffice.org 1.0.3-2        English (US) language package for 
openoffice.o

As well as an "OpenOffice.org" sub-menu with all seven OOo items in, I 
have an "OpenOffice.org 1.0.2" sub-menu containing only one entry, for 
"OpenOffice.org Writer".

However, running "locate desktop | grep -i openoffice.org" on my machine 
tells me that I have a file 
"/home/paul/.kde/share/applnk/OpenOffice.org 1.0.2/textdoc.desktop" as 
well as the standard .desktop files in 
"/usr/share/applnk/OpenOffice.org 1.0.3"  which seems to be causing 
this "problem".

Removing "/home/paul/.kde/share/applnk/OpenOffice.org 
1.0.2/textdoc.desktop" and running update-menus has solved this.

Carl, can you check to see if you have a similar desktop file in your 
homedir, please?
