This problem, funnily enough, has existed pretty much forever. I guess
you're the first person to use the slides class with fontspec :)
Thanks for the fix and the instructions to update the fixed version, Will.
I had used fontspec with the slides class before, but it seems that this
is the first time I use italics within slides and fontspec.

I don't exactly want to bother the CTAN people for every minor bug fix, but I don't want to wait too long before releasing new versions officially. I'll tentatively say that I'll release a new version to CTAN on the second weekend after the last nightly build on TLContrib. That should give me enough time to catch any accidental slip ups and chain any minor bug fixes together.

Howdy,
How long in testing before you submit the update to CTAN/TeX Live?
Is the fix for the expl3 problem local to fontspec too (i.e., in this update)
or will that need a change to expl3?
No push... just like information.
Good Luck,

This problem, funnily enough, has existed pretty much forever. I guess
you're the first person to use the slides class with fontspec :)
This is now fixed in the nightly build of fontspec, which you can
install iff you have TeX Live 2010 with the following command:
tlmgr --repository http://tlcontrib.metatex.org/2010 update fontspec
(more details here:
)
The
package source on GitHub (http://github.com/wspr/fontspec) contains the
latest version as well, of course.
(I thought I had already reported this issue
[http://tug.org/pipermail/xetex/2010-October/018895.html], but due to
the lack of proper description, it hasn't been taken as a proper bug
report.]
Sorry, I'd missed this. I don't necessarily follow this list exhaustively.

I have no idea how this would be fixed, but github issue tracker[1] is the
proper place to report bug, at least to make sure it get noticed and not
lost in mailing lists.
