I can confirm for you that the title placeholder on the slide master doesn't
"hold" the case setting. I don't know what to offer you as a workaround,
though. You could use RnR ShapeStyles add-in, but it's probably overkill for
what you seem to need.

Slide masters/placeholders don't enforce text case as a formatting option, I'm
afraid.

You'll have to manually uppercase the text after adding it.

PPT has a Change Case button you can customize onto any convenient toolbar (or
just use Format, Change Case).

The free PPTools StarterSet (http://starterset.pptools.com) includes a button
that cycles through the available case settings; generally it's quicker to use
than the options PPT itself supplies.

Shift+F3 is a good shortcut for this, and I find that faster than the change
case button. I do agree that the RnR case change option is much faster than
PPT's button also. I tend to use it quite a bit as well.

(Sorry I didn't mention that originally.)

Ah, right, thanks!
