In the first case, there is whitespace at the end of the list, so the 
new (OOo 3.3) configmgr implementation faithfully reports a third list 
element after that whitespace---an element that happens to be the empty 
string.  The old configmgr implementation behaved differently, so this 
example happened to work there as it probably had been intended by the 
example's author.

For OOo 3.3, an even better way to write string lists is with <it> 
elements, like

<value><it>%origin%/es_AR.aff</it><it>%origin%/es_AR.dic</it></value>

You can sprinkle as much whitespace as you like around the <it> elements.
