There are apparently quite a few problems with keybindings with XFCE
4.4. See for example here:

http://bugzilla.xfce.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2624

I am also occasionally getting "bizzare" keybinding behaviors that
then disappear...

One thing you may want to try is Comment #3 in the above bug link:
(Re)define Shift+F4 to do something (whatever) via XFCE's window
manager and/or keyboard (global) shortcuts, then undefine Shift+F4 (no
associated binding), and see if it now works under OpenOffice...

Good luck!
