Follow-up Comment #3:

Over in bug #53298 I wrote:

immediately stumbled over the "@" character in the file name. After changing
the "@" into a "_" it hit a bug with the zip function ("no files to move").
That's where it ends for the time being as I have no time to look into it
until well after mid-July, sorry. 

Changing L.53 of  __OCT_spsh_close__.m  in the io package's private folder

[mvst, msg] = movefile (["." filesep fname ".zip"], filename, "f");

into

[mvst, msg] = movefile ([fname ".zip"], filename, "f");

solves the issue with zip.
ISTR a recent bug report or fix where s/th like this (prepending '.\') was
also mentioned.

Anyway, with that newly written file I can confirm this bug report. The
content.xml inside it is corrupt.
That's as far as I can get for the time being.

For the moment/as a workaround you can use a Java-based ods I/O interface; I'd
advise jOpenDocument - AFAIK the fastest of all .ods I/O options in the io
package and IMO better than the OCT interface for .ods anyway.
