Can't open files if special characters in file path, this started to happen since installed OO 4.1.1.

No problem here with that file name.
Are you using the built-in OO file dialogs? See Tools > Options > OO > General > Open/Save dialogs > Use OO dialogs: YES (checked)
Whatever that's set for, try the alternate and see if that makes any difference.

The accented characters cause a problem for me on my US English system, but not on another system that also has Spanish installed, thus changing your language settings might be a resolution.

No, no difference at all.

Added Spanish language pack, switch OO Language to Spanish, didn't make any difference.

Hmm.. you might need to change the language your OS/keyboard is using. In Windows that's easy.. no idea about Linux.
