Further on this: I've also got a dist-upgraded beowulf with a no-install-recommends installation of task-xfce-desktop, and this one is fine wrt 'w'/'last' report for slim using consolekt, and still fine when I downgraded consolekit to the ascii version. The newest 'slim' is fine btw.
A little bit of digging tells me that my laptop has XDG_SESSION_COOKIE set which my beowulf VM doesn't. That difference might be enough to steer things differently for /etc/X11/Xsession.d/90consolekit, which (by guesswork) has a significant decision point about the session startup. Basically, X startup only runs /usr/bin/ck-launch-session if the variable is unset (at that time). Someone who knows stuff might kindly pull me right, but now I'm chasing the reason why may latop gets XDG_SESSION_COOKIE set (while my beowulf VM doesn't)...
