No, it does *not* behave as documented. See the "libreoffice --help"
output.
"Using without special arguments:
Opens the start center, if it is used without any arguments."
Other usages such as providing a file argument or using --writer to
create an empty Writer document have no effect either, while a window
should have been opened.
The fact that LibreOffice is already running in the background is just
internals. It still needs to behave as documented and in a useful way.
With the current status, there is no way to open a LibreOffice window.
