Thanks for this great progress!

It seems that there are quite a few manuals that cause errors, even some 
that are not especially old. One of mine typically has this "ERROR! URL 
seems to be an unsupported one." error.

I googled around a bit and all threads I could find seem to point to 
missing packages in the headless OpenOffice installation, see for 
example [1]. I don't know if this is of any help, nor why some manuals 
(which look pretty standard) require something particular.

Maybe another track to follow is wrong URLs inside the document, but I 
don't see why it should try to resolve them. In the manual of the 
vge_tagcloud extension, for example, I have the following paragraph:

"This will produce URLs like 
http://www.mydomain.com/tag-cloud-results/tagcloud/somekeyword/1_2_3 
when calling the page where an instance of the pi2 plug-in resides."

The URL is obviously a dummy one, but is truly hyperlinked by OpenOffice 
(which is silly; it just happens automatically and I never took the care 
to remove it). Could it be causing problems? It's maybe worth a try.

Cheers
