Given that OOo is not licence restricted, I would have thought that there is any significant issues here. It should work just like any multi-user install such as on WinXP Home, if you install it as a communal application. Each logged on session will spin up its own copy. The one thing that you will need to think about is ensuring that the default profile disables the system tray resident mode since. Soffice still has memory leaks which grow over time.
Ubuntu 11.04-x64 + LibreOffice 3 and MS free except the boss's Notebook which runs XP + OOo 3.3.
