Yes, I noticed that as well. This is really a bug with
OpenOffice-3.2. You will see that the above issue manifests itself in
the odp slideshow as well. This then gets carried over to pdf file.

I tried using LibreOffice-3.4. See the attached files. The "space" issue
you have spotted has gone away. But the first slide is clobbered. I will
file a bug against LibreOffice someday.

To clarify,

org->odt happens with org-odt.el
odt->odp happens with Open/LibreOffice's own converter.
odp->pdf also happens with Open/LibreOffice's own converter.

org-lparse + BasicODConverter is merely a glue code.

ps: I really like the idea of creating presentation right from the
original Org file as opposed to creating a separate file for
presentations. I see that University crowd forms a significant and
serious user base of Orgmode. To them, creating a first draft of
presentation right from their dissertation would appeal readily.
