I eventually found the source of the problem which was a large accumulation of ever longer lock files in my .config directory. These were of the form:
lo_kde5filepickerrc.lock.rmlock
lo_kde5filepickerrc.lock.rmlock.rmlock ... etc.
I assume they got so long that they exceeded 255 bytes. I deleted them all and LibreOffice now works

Sorry to have left you so long. I wanted to try the problem, did not reproduce it, then a long interval before I had a more serious go. Again, no problem with Writer or Calc opening existing files with the file chooser.

But thank you for your own investigation, good news.
