I don't know what sort of bike Cyclotourist has, but if by "horizontal" dropouts he means the usual forward-facing road dropouts, these won't work -- they are designed for "track ends."
I am very puzzled by your (Cyclotourist -- what's your real name?) slipping problem: I've had no problems with even chromed horizontals and decent, internal cam, all-steel QRs. Are you *sure* that the axle is not coyly peeping out beyond the outward-facing dropout surface? I've had this happen, and it only requires a mm or so of excess length to cause the problem. I can't see alignment being a real issue -- squeeze that QR down and it should hold the wheel in place.
