I can confirm the crashing bugs you list and that installing NeoOffice 3.4 Patch 0 Test 6 resolves them.
The "Mac vs. PC.pptx.ppt" file does not display properly in NeoOffice, though I imagine this is probably beyond the scope of what you want to do. I attach screen shots for completeness.
Yours,

Unfortunately what you see is a different OpenOffice.org bug. The OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 code that NeoOffice is based on is unable to import the slide's gray background setting. The text in the 2 text boxes is still there, but since the text is white, it is not visible against the default white background.
While the OpenOffice.org bug was fixed in OpenOffice.org 3.4.1, I was unable to backport it into NeoOffice due to several incompatible changes between OpenOffice.org 3.1.1 and 3.4.1.
Fortunately there is a workaround for this OpenOffice.org bug. Since only the background color setting is lost when importing the .pptx file, changing the slide background color or the text to a non-white color will make the text visible again. In the attached screen snapshot, I changed the background color by selecting the Format :: Page menu and, in the dialog that appears, setting the "Fill" setting to gray.

FYI. I have included the fix for this crashing bug in NeoOffice 3.4.1 which can be downloaded from the NeoOffice download page.
