This is an answer which I can not fix to yes or no. Both are valid in  
some way. I tend to say "yes" for the default case of running as an  
user without a chroot, but I also see where it may be good to have the  
current "no" (e.g. chroots are obvious to me, other uses may be valid  
too).

>>  42087 soffice.bin NAMI  "/compat/linux"
>>  42087 soffice.bin NAMI  "/compat/linux/tmp"

I would say the bug is that OO doesn't try to e.g. cd into or readdir  
of the directory or something like this before doing a mkdir.

Bye,
Alexander.
