A SharePoint server WebDAV access enabled and two users is required to reproduce this bug. Both users should have access to a sample file. Additionally, at least one of the users mustn't have the permission "Browse Directories - enumerate files and folders in a Web site using SharePoint Designer and Web DAV interfaces". - Open the sample with the first user (eg. just paste the URL to the file in the file open dialog's file name field). - Try opening the sample with the second user (the one that doesn't have the aforementioned permission). => The second user will get a 'Document in use' dialog, this is expected. However, it says the file is in use by an unknown user instead of the other user's name. If the second user has the permission to browse directories, then the user name is shown in the dialog. Observed using LO 6.4 daily build from 06-14 / Windows 7.

Hi Mike, Aron, Do you think it would be a good idea to backport it to 6-3 branch ?
I think this fix is only relevant to a small margin of users, and it's only about whether the user name is displayed in a dialog, so I wouldn't bother with backporting.
