As a workaround you can type:
sin(x) newline coth(x) newline "cosech"(x) newline "sech"(x)

Still reproducible using Linux Mint 14 x64 with LibreOffice 4.0.0 and master Version 4.1.0.0.alpha0+ (Build ID: 07ee72672e6966dafccf21ca3349e428c2a9dd0).

Kind regards,

To get them automatically detected as formulas they have to be added to the list of formulas (including their inverse functions).
