Well, the denizens of the coreutils mailing list may not know how to fix slocate. As far as GNU locate (not slocate) goes, in 4.3.x it uses gnulib's fts(). In fact, it uses find to build the database, and you indicated that find does not suffer from this problem. If slocate doesn't work for you, you could always use locate instead.
