Um, no, it probably does. Slippery slopes happen when there's unintended consequences embedded in the assumptions behind a proposition someone is putting forward, and there are people with an interest in pushing for them to be realized. Sometimes you talk about this in your argument; bam, slippery slope argument.

To try to name a "fallacy" after this rather useful concept, when the "fallacy" is just the boring case of failing to make an argument at all, is useless confusion at best.
