Perhaps, you have to add slur-event to the quotedEventTypes list :
\set Staff.quotedEventTypes = #'(note-event rest-event slur-event)
(see the end of 8.3.3 Quoting other voices )

You have the list of all music events here :
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.10/Documentation/user/lilypond-internals-big-page#music_002devent

If yout want all music events :
\set Staff.quotedEventTypes = #'(music-event)
