I tested the bug again. Without any fonts installed the problem appear
in both Iceweasel and Openoffice.org.
$ dpkg -l ttf-kochi-mincho ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho

Only after installing ttf-kochi-mincho package, both softwares showed
the 3rd line correctly.
$ dpkg -l ttf-kochi-mincho ttf-sazanami-gothic ttf-sazanami-mincho

My conclusions are that the fonts used to display the first two lines
comes from another font package on the system. Thus, I think the bug
should be closed.
