Why is this? How do I create a prepackaged slide master?

Using the steps you sent I think I was able to create a "prepackaged slide master"... 1a) Start with blank presentation. > 1b) Format > Slide Design > 2) Click Load button (bottom right). > 3) Click the appropriate Category (My Templates, Presentations, > Presentation Backgrounds). > 4a) Click the appropriate template in the Templates list. 4b) *** Check "Delete unused backgrounds" *** > 5) Click OK. 6) Click "File"=>"Templates"=>"Save..." 7) Give the Template a Name and save it. 8) Move the template from your home directory to the global templates directory. 9) Restart OpenOffice and I can now click on the template in the "Available for Use" area. I'm guessing there is a bug with having multiple backgrounds inside a template.
