Obviously not. It's not a bug in the Database application, is it?
Please report against correct packages (and in this case the package description
of libreoffice-base is clear what it is)

When and what and how?

1:4.3.3-2+deb8u5 is there since months (mid-2016), as is
libreoffice-lightproof-en (from jessie release onwards)
(which would be the correct package to file it in if it was a bug in th
packages' file permissions)

After installing libreoffice-lightproof-en and libreoffice-writer in a clean
jessie and proofchecking a simple wrong sentence and closing I get:

drwxr-xr-x 2 root root  4096 Jan 30 11:04 __pycache__

So it's ok. (And normal files don't need to be +x)

(cowbuilder-stable)root@frodo:/var/spool/libreoffice/uno_packages/cache# ls -l
total 4
drwxr-xr-x 2 root root 4096 Jan 30 11:04 uno_packages


without doing anything. Did you loose directories and recreated them on your own?
fs problems?

In any case, I can't see any bug in any of the involving packages.
