I do get the same error:

sh: error while loading shared libraries: /usr/lib32/libpangohack.so.0.0: cannot open shared object file: No such file or directory

Seems the error can just be ignored, since files are opened
correctly. Looks like a bug in the packaging.

If I understand correctly oppenoffice has been packaged in such a way
that it can run on a 64bit system without the need of a chroot or
multi-arch[1] support by the OS, but only with 32-bit emulation
libraries.

I think the safest way to set locale for 32bit libraries on a 64bit
machine is doing it inside a 32bit chroot. I don't see how the
libpangohack.so.0.0 bug relates to locales though.
