The internal BOM generator has bugs. I designed an XSL script, which converts the generated XML Partlist into
a CSV file for Libre Office or Open Office.  It is very easy to use. You can specify it as a plugin for 
Eeshema netlist generator.

It searches for all field names, generates the table headings accounting for all fields found in any part.
Then stuffs all the parts rows according to proper fields.

+
+    Functionality:
+        Generation of csv table with table head of all existing field names
+        and correct assigned cell entries
+
+    How to use this is explained in eeschema.pdf chapter 14.  You enter a command line into the
+    netlist exporter using a new (custom) tab in the netlist export dialog.  The command is
+    similar to
+        on Windows:
+            xsltproc -o "%O.csv" "C:\Program Files (x86)\KiCad\bin\plugins\bom2csv.xsl" "%I"
+        on Linux:
+            xsltproc -o "%O.csv" /usr/local/lib/kicad/plugins/bom2csv.xsl "%I"
+
+    Instead of "%O.csv" you can alternatively use "%O" if you will supply your own file extension when
+    prompted in the UI.  The double quotes are there to account for the possibility of space(s)
+    in the filename.
