Hi,

  the download page I access from my iMac running Snow Leopard (Mac OS
X 10.6) says I have to download and install two files:

http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/testing/3.5.4/mac/x86/LibO_3.5.4rc2_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg

and

http://download.documentfoundation.org/libreoffice/stable/3.5.4/mac/x86/LibO_3.5.4_MacOS_x86_install_en-US.dmg

They appear to be the same file.

Apologies if this issue has already been reported.
Often rc2 and the final release are the same. It depends on if there are
any changes/problems discovered with rc2 that would require code changes.
In that case wouldn't downloading just the final release be sufficient?

Yes

The download page for Macs is improperly configured and says you have to download two files, 
both RC2 and the release version of 3.5.4. Here is what the page currently says (Note it states 
it is a pre-release version. The second file listed is the release version.):

    Download LibreOffice
    This is a pre-release version not meant for general use.
    LibreOffice Mac OS X (Intel), version 3.5.4, English (US). Not the version you wanted?
    Change System, Version or Language

    You need to download and install these files in order:
    Main installer
    170 MB (Torrent, Info)
    Main installer
    170 MB (Torrent, Info)
