It looks like an effect of koffice getting split into multiple packages and the koffice-meta-koffice package isn't actually part of the koffice group. So pacman's trying to remove the group, but running into a problem since it doesn't want to remove the meta-package that depends on everything in the group.

You want to use pacman -Rcsn koffice
