I just checked and it doesn't appear to have one. It just has the
wheel-type fastener that you turn to tighten the flash down onto the hot
shoe.
I'm sure part of the reason is that I don't like to tighten it down too
much, because it's a real pain in the ass to remove if you do. It's just
one of those things I have to remind myself to be on the lookout for
while I'm using it, I reckon.

That's odd about the shoe slippage. Did you rotate the locking lever
to the right? When you do that a pin drops from the flash and slides
into a hole in the shoe where it should prevent the removal of the
flash.
Maybe your 3rd-party flash doesn't have that lever.

Thank you, Bruce.
I have to say, the flash performed pretty damned well given all the negative
things I've heard about PTTL. The biggest issue I had was the flash unit
slowly slipping out of the hot shoe over time -- which happened a couple of
times throughout the night. Other than that, I think it did a pretty
commendable job overall, from what I've seen of the photos I've gone
through.

I shot a wedding for a friend of mine's son and his new bride last night.
It
was a bit of a last-minute deal I did on the cheap to help out the young
couple, so I didn't do a lot in the way of preparation. Essentially, I
did
it all with my K-5 and the trusty ol' F 50/1.7.
This is one of my favorites so far, though I'm still going through them.
I
just thought it was one of the more touching moments I've photographed to
date -- the emotionally fraught dance of the bride and her father.
