In addition to Cheng-Chia Tseng's explanation, I'll offer two analogies with
other languages.  Think "apartment vs. flat" and "cookie vs. biscuit" in 
American
English and British English, or east European languages that can be either 
written
in Latin script or Cyrillic script (I remember Serbian is like this?).

The difference between simplified and traditional Chinese is somewhere in
between the two scenarios above.  As for the Chinese conversion feature in
LibreOffice, the cases covered by this "common terms" list are more like
"apartment vs. flat", as the cases like "Latin vs. Cyrillic" are more easily 
done
by rule-based replacement in large scale, and don't need this special "common
terms" list.

Hope this helps,
Ming

Christian is currently on vacation until next week. I'll add the bug to
our meeting on the 7th, so he can have a look and let you know what has
happened.
