Before starting hacking on this exactly, I'd recommend you to get
yourself familiar with building LibreOffice, and to do an easy hack:

But of course, fixing a bug that is close to your heart is always
good :-)  In your case, I'd first try to open the resulting pptx in MS
Office, to find out if it is a problem of the exporter (it is broken in
MSO), or importer (it is fine there).

If it is an exporter problem, you'll want to hack around:

If it is an importer problem, then it is most probably around:
