Open the result file, and tweak it the following way for reference doc
Instead of doing this, please try what the documentation recommends. Get a copy of the default reference doc, open it in powerpoint, and make that one adjustment and save as your new reference doc. This may not make a difference but it would be good to know.
I'm not completely sure what changes we can handle in the reference.pptx. (Original author of this module isn't active now, and I don't know a lot about this format.) In the case of docx, we really only support changes in the styles as listed in the manual.

Same thing happens doing this.

Good to know. I think having this issue open is already a way to document the limitation.

Yeah I understand. I opened this mainly for documenting the issue really.
I could try help, but I need to understand how PPTX writer works. I do know a little about openxml but not specifically about this templating thing.
I believe this should be label as powerpoint issue, and kept opened so that users doing this type of customization know this does not work correctly.
Take this markdown
Convert to powerpoint
Open the result file, and tweak it the following way for reference doc: We don't want footer on title slide. So untick footer on slide 2 from master view![image](https://github.com/jgm/pandoc/assets/6791940/3a8799b0-ab58-4caf-9335-9e5bf36f70fc)

No more error.
So something is causing issue in openxml written probably for footers when using a reference doc with no footer on one type of slide.
