I have always thought that OSHPark do not support plated slots at all.
But this is actually not true anymore, they (OSHPark) just don't officially support it ;-)
You apparently have to mark the plated slots on the outline/edge layer for the fab-house to note as described here:

A more in-detail description on how to do this in KiCAD can be found here:
https://forum.kicad.info/t/oval-pads-not-possible-for-oshpark/835/4
- Draw a line on the outline/edge layer and set its diameter to the slot's width, it's as simple as that
If you follow the instructions, OSHPark should give you a preview with plated slots (and hopefully the fab-house will do as isntructed, too).
