I think I might have discovered the 'guilty' packages causing the controls of the Presenter Console not being displayed.
At first, I was shocked to learn that even when I installed the 3.4.4 packages from LO's website on Ubuntu 11.10, the issue still remained.
I then started looking (with the help of Synaptic) for any remaining packages which had any reference to libreoffice and which were coming from the Ubuntu repo's.

Turns out that even while I expected to be rid of all LO packages when
removing any package starting with 'libreoffice', there are still other
packages which don't have 'libreoffice' in their name, but still
influence the behaviour of LO (luckily this is mentioned in their
description). The suspect here is the "Libreoffice UNO runtime
environment". Removing all packages related to this environment and then
re-installing the packages from the LO site fixed the problem!

The packages provided on the LO website ship with their own version of the UNO runtime environment (exact package name is libreoffice3.4-ure).
Without having any extensive knowledge on packaging it's kind of weird to be suggesting this, but perhaps there should be some kind of 'conflicts' dependency (?) added to either of these packages, so Ubuntu's version of the UNO environment automatically gets removed when libreoffice3.4-ure is installed?

Title:
  Libre Office Presenter console doesn't display controls

Status in “libreoffice” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  On Natty (tried both my updated x64 install and a fresh 32 bit live
  system), with both the stock Libre Office and version 3.3.3, the
  Presenter Console only displays the presentation on the secondary
  screen, but doesn't show the presentation controls on the primary.
  Instead, the regular LO Impress interface is shown on the primary
  screen.

  I've checked the presentation settings and these settings are correct
  (the presentation is diplayed properly on the secondary display when
  having LO on the primary display).

  Please see the attached screenshots to get an idea of the problem.

  What I expected to happen:
  -Get the presentation on the secondary display and the presentation controls on the primary display

  What happens instead:
  -The presentation displays on the secondary screen, but no controls appear on the primary display. Instead, the plain LO Impress interface is shown. The typical Presenter keyboard shortcuts seam to work, except for ALT-1, ALT-2 and ALT-3.
