The problem I see in the log you sent is

    [ODBC][7485][SQLBindParameter.c][186]
        Entry:
            Statement = 0x81e39b0
            Param Number = 2
            Param Type = 1
            C Type = -2 SQL_C_BINARY
            SQL Type = -2 SQL_C_BINARY

OpenOffice is binding SQL_BINARY(SQL_C_BINARY seems a unixODBC's
bug) SQL Type parameter not an SQL_LONGVARBINARY one. Unfortunately
I don't understand the reason.

Though I don't love the *bytea* type, you can turn on
the *bytea as LO* DSN option. *bytea* is only for not
so large objects.
