I tried it on Ubuntu fully updated and OpenOffice 3 works just fine.
None of your problems seem to exist.

Same here, Kubuntu 7.10 (kernel 2.6.22-14-generic) with OpenOffice 2.3.0... works alright.

The weird part is that it isn't OO.o in general doing it, it's just
oocalc. The word processor seems perfectly normal. And when calc is
fullscreened (which it is at startup), it doesn't have borders, so I
can't use the buttons in the corner to alter fullscreen/minimize/etc.

When firefox is on the display I have my GNOME bars, so I right click on
the task button for OOcalc and click minimize (or maximize), and it has
no effect whatsoever other than bringing Calc back to the foreground,
still stealing all the desktop real-estate.

How about CTRL + SHIFT + J to go out of full screen?

Nope. I got a fullscreen display of what looked like gradient bars
repeating horizontally, with the top one having a "fullscreen" button in
the upper right of the screen. The very top had a thing bar that looked
like the top of a dialog box for OO, with a teeny dropdown arrow in the
uppermost right.

Clicking the button made the dialog box go away but didn't fix calc.

It looked as if there were supposed to be a dialog box popped up, but
instead of being a little window, it was painted over the entire
desktop. Screen rotation around the cube still works, though, and
there's a normal desktop waiting for me if I rotate to another workspace
unless I rotate to the one with Calc waiting for me.

Weird!
