I can confirm the problem with a fresh installation of kubuntu 8.04.1 on amd64, with all updates installed afterwards, openoffice packages have now version 1:2.4.1-1ubuntu2
Installation of openoffice.org-java-common didn't help, but removing $HOME/.openoffice.org2/user/config/javasettings_Linux_x86.xml as mentioned before did the job.
