Progress, although I'm not sure why this is working and the more "normal" process does not. Try:
Add the JPG/JGW 3857 as per previous and select ok etc.  Go back to the Map GeoRef menu and in the scaling section, (where there is the system Combined scale applied has been added for some reason) and in the auxiliary section put the reciprocal of  Combined ( or as close as possible).  I.E. if combined is 1.422793 use .702843 so the Combined is as close to 1 as possible.  The option comes up to shrink the map - so far I have not found any difference.   Save in OCAD format and then open in PP.  So far this seems to work - any objects added in OOM are properly placed in PP.  Add controls to PP and export as IOF XML v3 then convert to KML are properly positioned in GE.  In addition, using the Image Export function (with Worldfile) and then O-Utits produces a proper KMZ (although I think you need to also show a course - could have a extra course with just start and finish??)

I have also played with adding Declination and magnetic north lines with OOM.  These seem to work in PP and not mess up control locations although it does break the KMZ production process from within PP.  Still working on it.

Either we are missing something (obvious) or there is a bug in OOM I think.
