Created attachment 114367 [details] pptx with table merged cells
I can confirm with LO 4.4.1.2, win7
This is reproducible back to at least 3.6. Before 3.6, round tripping such a table through PPTX either results in the table being missing upon reload or crashing on reload. I can't find a version that does anything better than the current behaviour. So not a regression - this has probably just never worked since LO introduced PPTX as a feature back in 3.3.0 (OOo / AOO has never supported it)
Raised the CL for supporting export of table merged cell: https://gerrit.libreoffice.org/#/c/15282/
Reproducible with LO 4.4.1.2, Win 8.1
