Please check if optional dependencies are missing. Libreoffice-common now should provide all fuctionality of the former JS and BS extensions.

It doesn't seem to be the case. Excerpt from pacman -Qi libreoffice-common:

Optional Deps : libreoffice-langpack: additional language support
java-runtime: adds java support
libcups: adds printing support [installed]
pstoedit: translates PostScript and PDF graphics into other vector formats [installed]
libmythes: for use in thesaurus [installed]
beanshell: interactive java -- good for prototyping /macros [installed]
vigra: C++ computer vision library, usable in Basebmp
libmspack: library for Microsoft compression formats for use in FontOOo
libwpg: library for importing and converting Corel WordPerfect(tm) Graphics images and for MS visual import
[installed]
sane: for scanner access [installed]
unixodbc: adds ODBC database support [installed]
gst-plugins-base-libs: + some gstr-plugins to support multimedia content, e.g. in impress [installed]
gtk2: for browser plugin [installed]

So I'm missing libreoffice-langpack, vigra and libmspack, none of those seem to me as being macro-related. I DO have java-runtime "installed", the jdk package (from AUR) provides this (for some reason pacman doesn't detect it here).

status? still not working?

Still not working as of 4.1.2-2. What happens if you follow the steps to reproduce? Do you see something else than I do? Because until you see JavaScript there, it won't work.
