That animation is a smil-animation and different from animated gif. I think, it
was never supposed to be exported as animated gif. If you export the whole
slide (not only the selected shape) to SVG, then the smil-animation is
correctly exported as smil-animantion. It would be an enhancement to work too
for a selection and it would be an enhanced that export to gif produces an
animated gif.

Yes, the documentation should say, that this is only about animated gifs, which
were created with the tool at Insert > Media > Animated Image.

Good to know that Save from context menu works. But that is new, it should work
with File > Export as well. It had worked in the past.

So here are two problems:
1. Improve the documentation. In addition to the above mentioned improvement it
should point to Save from context menu, at least as long as File > Export is
not fixed.
2. Fix File > Export for animated gif.
