Comment:

 First off I'd like to admin an embarrassing fact..
 The plugin slug conflict did NOT cause the deletion of my plugin on auto-
 update.
 My plugin was configured to update from github - and wp core respected
 that.
 What happened was that I had accidentally moved the plugin inside another
 plugin's directory. (I believe wp also looks one directory down the
 hierarchy - so it was still available on the Plugins page as it always had
 been). My plugin was deleted when its "parent" plugin had auto-updated.
