Note: there are others that go 'fuzzy/small' when saved with DEV300M56
94 - 100, 102 - 103, 107 as well.

I did a file save as with
ttp://www.afolkey2.net/~steve/OO/20090825-BibleSchool-3.2.0-005.odp
using DEV300M56 (OOo-Dev_DEV300_m56_LinuxIntel_install_en-US_deb.tar.gz)
and all the slides appear. However several others turned fuzzy/small as
well as indicated above.

Ganesha pointed out, it appears that this happens if thumbnail previews
are saved with the photo. I'll have to do a little more experimenting
w/M56 to test, but could it be that when you resized with GraphicsMagick
and ImageMagick that the fuzzy/small photos were saved with thumbnail
preview? If so that information will be helpful in the bug report.
