Perhaps this will help a little, based upon my understanding. If I've got this 
wrong, 
I hope Jim or someone else more knowledgeable than I am will correct me.

If an ESPIE is active at the time a Program Interruption occurs, the ESPIE exit 
will get 
control if the Program Interruption code is one that was specified on the ESPIE 
SET. 
The exit can try to recover or not. If not, it percolates to the Recovery 
Termination 
Manager. The Program Interrupt gets converted to a S0Cx abend. One of the 
things 
that RTM does is to check for a matching SLIP trap for that abend code. So, if 
the 
ESPIE exit attempts to recover, whatever it means by "recover", RTM doesn't 
receive 
control and is therefore not able to recognize the SLIP trap.

So it's not that SLIP was excluded, it never saw the S0Cx abend. In fact, the 
Program 
Interruption was never converted to a S0Cx abend.
