Thanks for your quick reply.

The .odp opens messed up in so many ways (not just the motion path) in
Microsoft Office (2013 and below) it just doesn't work at all.

Actually, I have to export to .pptx almost every day for Microsoft PowerPoint
(most commonly 2010 on Windows, but also 2008/2011 on Mac OS X, and 2013 on
Windows), and as I noted above, ODF support in Office is still a mess at least
for .odp. In addition, the Mac versions of PowerPoint can't read .odp files. So
this bug is pretty major for me.

And since interoperability with Microsoft Office is touted as a big feature of
LibreOffice, I think it is still critical to make sure exporting to .pptx (and
.docx and .xlsx for that matter) works without a hitch. Yes I realise
Microsoft's own implementation of .pptx changes between every version of
PowerPoint, but the point stays the same.

Glad to hear that PowerPoint 2007 opens the .odp and renders the path. But does
everything look exactly the same as in Impress?
