Is there any reason why you cannot just import the template and then use File->Templates->Edit to change it? > > ln -s mynicetemplate.ots ~/.libreoffice/3/user/template/ > > That worked fine until I moved the template.

Because the symlink in ~/.libreoffice/3/user/template/ exists yet, it just points to a nonexistent file. LibO sees the (symlink) file, so it doesn't allow to import a template with the same name, but it cannot open it as a template, so it doesn't list it in the dialog.

Well, it was you who decided to circumvent the template management system, so it is your problem to ensure it is in consistent state...
