Comment (by iamfriendly):

 My take is a little different - I've deprecated the slugdiv function and
 stopped the registration of that metabox.

 With js enabled we have a hidden field which is used whenever someone
 edits the slug in the fancy UI. For no-js we actually show the field along
 with the Permalink:... etc. preamble.

 Seems to work fairly well for both no-js and with-js. Maintains a little
 bit of backwards compatibility by simply not registering the 'slug'
 metabox any more and deprecating the function which outputs the content.
