Choosing a slide design to use for the slide master sounds somewhat reasonable. What's the reasoning here?

Slide design is to set the master slide used on a slide. :D

So why is it called 'Slide design' instead of something with 'Slide master' in the name like 'Slide Master Picker' ? We should try to be consistent with the naming here.

Here's how I tested the dialog: In the Slide Design dialog I 
1) navigated: Load -> Presentation Backgrounds -> Abstract Green
2) Selected the Green slide
3) Clicked 'OK'

That changed the slide master to green. It seemed like a somewhat intuitive way to update the slide master, even if it's not the suggested method.

I have been meaning to submit a bug report on this issue. :D

When in master view, it didnt replace the current slide master (titled Default), it added a new slide master of abstract green and then set the slide of the presentation to the abstract green as well.

I'm not an experienced impress user, but it would be good to get the opinion of someone who is. Do you know any on the QA team qubit?

yep - there's an issue for that :)

According to the Help it can also serve to change background of all slides in the document.
But that's not true: it only works for slides with the same master slide as the active slide. And is not available in Master view.

And it not only changes background. 
As far as I see it actually replaces the master slide.
