It seems so strange to me that a bug of such paramount importance is marked as
trivial. Maybe as it has been said before, serious users abandon Impress as
soon as this bug is evident.

I found a simple solution submitted in a forum post and I thought it would be a
good idea to share it with people watching this issue. It's a macro just
***nine lines long*** which does the job. It was written by an amateur at
programming.

The macro has to be run on every page. You can assign the macro to a keyboard
shortcut or a toolbar button. At least it saves you from the trouble of going
through multiple clicks in custom animation dialog. 

More about installing macros here:

I have the following question: how hard is it for a serious developer in the
openoffice team to implement the following pseudocode:
On MASTER save, do:
    copy animation from MASTER body
    apply animation to every slide body (using this 9-line snippet)
done

If openoffice has some kind of trigger after master saving, the above would be
a 15 minutes job plus 10 minutes testing.

Unfortunately, I am not a java developer to implement it. But, if someone will
implement it I'll buy him a 12pack of beers.
