I can reliably observe the issue on bionic too.
This is caused by libreoffice's application architecture: there's one single process for all open windows, so all windows get matched to the desktop file corresponding to the first app launched.
I.e. if I first launch the start center (libreoffice), all the windows will get the generic document icon. If I first launch writer (libreoffice. writer) , all the windows will get the text document icon.
Not really sure what can be done about this.
