I do believe this is a bug.
It must be possible to open a pps in edit mode. Without renaming it.

I just did some comparison testing:

  LibreOffice 3.3.1 – Automatically plays .pps and closes it when it is
finished playing
  PowerPoint (MS Office for Macs 2011) – Automatically plays .pps and
closes it when it is
  finished playing
  OOo 3.3 – Opens a .pps in edit mode. Have to select play. Exits play to
edit mode.
  Keynote (iWork '08) – Opens a .pps in edit mode. Have to select play.
Exits play to edit mode.

The LibreOffice developers have successfully emulated the behaviour of
PowerPoint.
If that emulation is desirable is another question.

Well, as you say, "If that emulation is desirable is another question.".
LibreOffice is not MS Office. So it doesn't have to follow MS Office's
rules. It can have its own.
As software developer, I have found that switches are better than removing a
feature.
IMHO, it should have an option to state this behavior. This makes
LibreOffice smarter. ;)
...and safer too. There are malicious scripts sometimes that play
automatically. Please, let that option, make it as MS Office by default, and
I will be happy to set it when needed to edit directly.
