I believe this is a different issue. What probably happens in your
case is that, when Mutt starts LibreOffice, it blocks until
LibreOffice returns (probably when you close it), after which Mutt
destroys the temporary file it created for the e-mail attachment.

On the other hand, if LibreOffice is already running, Mutt's call does
not start a new instance; rather, the second invocation returns very
quickly after forwarding the filename to the existing LibreOffice
instance: there is a race condition between Mutt (that deletes the
attachment file) and LibreOffice (that tries to open it).
