I would if I could; the problem is that the converter produces a
pdf document without giving any indication that the result won't
validate as PDF/A -- it's only when trying it with one of the online
validators that I get a message that it fails validation. If at
some point I find a (free) command-line validator, I can however
easily run it on the existing corpus and get the desired information.

Understood, but right now the only avenue open to me for this is
manual checking with one of the online validators :-(

The validator tells me that the files which validate does so against
both A-1a and A-1b, which if I understand things correctly indicate
that it's 1a-compliant, since 1b is a subset of 1a. This also
matches what libreoffice is supposed to produce.
Best regards,
Henrik
