This maybe resurrecting an old thread, but was just having a similar experience. The solution that I came up with (because the thought of calling slider(...) multiple times was not appealing):

$slider.slider('option', 'slide').call($slider, event, ui);

With $slider being bound to the $(selector).slider(...) initialization.
