I can reproduce the bug.
Please have a look.

The bug was successfully replicated on WinXP using OpenOffice Build 2.1 and on 
Linux using OO Build 2.0.4. 

However, I could not reproduce the bug with any document other than the one 
provided. To further test the situation, the contents of the given file were 
copied and pasted in another OO Impress presentation. The file was then saved 
with the .ppt extension and opened using Microsoft PowerPoint 2003. The file 
appeared seamlessly and could be easily edited. Also, surprisingly, the 
properties of the corrupted and copy-pasted files were different. Consider the 
following steps:

1. Copy all contents of the given powerpoint file. 
2. Open OO Impress and paste all contents onto a new slide.
3. Save the file in .ppt extension.
4. Open the My Computer icon and right-click on the corrupted file and select 
Properties. The size of the file appears as 97.0 KB.
5. Similarly check the Properties of the copy-pasted file. The size of this 
file is 92.0KB.

Also note that the corrupted file takes up more space on the hard disk than 
needed, whereas the copy-pasted file takes up only a reasonable amount of 
space. However, the contents of the two files appear the same when opened in 
OO Impress. This may be an important find. To further test the problem, images 
from ClipArt and WordArt were also inserted in a new presentation; however, no 
such problem occurred in this case. 

If a document does appear corrupted in Microsoft PPT, the only way around it 
seems to be either opening it in OO Impress or copying the contents in Impress 
and pasting them in another PPT presentation.
