The issue is related to how NSS is configured on my Debian system, and
glibc 2.26 retiring libnss_compat.so. If nscd is running, then
libreoffice has no problem figuring out where to install it's per-user
files. That general issue was discussed in <https://bugs.gnu.org/30298>.

So, pushed as eb096cdebab56680375b26069ec524ddec60267e.
