Hi, i´m Nik from Argentina. First sorry about my english i speak spanish. 
I Use every days Libreoffice Calc. Before i use 4.1.4.2 version, and everythings Ok. When install 4.2.0.4 i found some Bugs. Two that are important. One in new versión (4.2.0.4) show “N/D” that you can see in image “Libreoffice 4.2.0.4 Bug BUSCARV Function.png”, when find cells in other sheet, the   function is: 

=BUSCARV(B15;'C:\Mis Documentos\COSTOS\[Precios_Actuales.xls]Precios'!$B$4:$AE$400;22;0)

I want find in “Precios_Actuales.xls”, in “Precios” from $B$4:$A$E400  the equal respect cell B15 from origen  (NS0280 Llada.xls in this case), the cost  in row 22 (W).

Excel 2003, Openoffice 4.01 and Libreoffice 4.1.4.2 function works perfectly, but not in Libreoffice 4.2.0.4. (Files: “NS0280 Llada.xls” and “Precios_Actuales.xls”)

Other thing that was intresting that functin support relative path. Ejample: not write   'C:\Mis Documentos\COSTOS\[Precios_Actuales.xls]Precios', just write '.\[Precios_Actuales.xls]Precios', that must work perfectly with pendrives and not, and  Linux  & Windows, etc.

The interoperability respect Excel has change, now  the file “PRECIO TERCEROS 27-01-14.xls” that use a simple porcentual function  show a lots of zeros. Look it in the image “Libreoffice 4.2.0.4 Bug EXCEL.png”..

I see a change in Excel functions work, but i think you can reseolve that quickily with and option in preferentes, where you can select  functions “like” 4.1.4.2 or  4.2.0.4 type.

Thanks a lot  you make a great job. Nicolás.-

I use Windows and Linux (Debian testing with Mint LMDE repositories and Sabayon), i can't probe this bug in the Linux version of Libreoffice 4.2.0.4, because it's not in repositories at now (day 02/01/2014).
