Well, it turns out there indeed is bad news. Xournal does not or cannot save the edited pdf file in pdf format. It saves it in it's own format - with .xoj extension.
That is incorrect. You need to export to pdf.
Also, xournal is not so much a PDF editor as a PDF annotator (additions and markups only) and it does this spectacularly well without adding a lot of size to the original PDF file.
I use it for filling out forms in PDF format that don't have embedded form fields all the time.
But back to the original topic ... I have found both OpenOffice and Inkscape PDF import to be non-reliable. It seems that there are some formats of PDF that make them both fail miserably. But hopefully the import effectiveness improves over time.
