As it turned out, this only happened when I used the PowerPoint templates for picture slides on my Mac to make the presentation. These slide templates show a little box where pictures can be dropped in. Pictures are then automatically resized to the dimensions of this box/placeholder. During this process, they seem to be converted in to a pict file, which cannot be dislpayed on Windows machines.
So the hint is: Do not use the picture templates slides in PowerPoint for Mac. Instead, place and resize your images by hand.
[robg adds: The picture slides are available in the Add Ojbects section of the Formatting Palette; scroll down by clicking the down arrow a couple of times, and you will see them.]
