For the most part, unchecking something in the list of things to start 
actually does result in the service being disabled. At least that has 
been my experience when I've installed Slackware. I'm willing to bet 
that either you accidentally didn't uncheck that when you thought you 
had, or that there was just a small oversite on the part of the author 
of the slackware setup script. Probably a simple typo or something. The 
only real way to know for sure is if someone else has had the problem of 
having pcmcia installed, but not selected to have it run at boot up. If 
the script didn't have the exec bit switched off on their system, then 
we know it's the setup script. If it turns out that it is the setup 
script, I'd be willing to check it out and submit a patch.
