I forgot to tell: I only added quotes around \fontname\font (in case it wasn't
clear).

Well, I *guess* the explanation is something like:

- \slshape triggers latex substitution mechanism, so LaTeX loads the italic font
as \EU2/LinuxLibertineO(0)/m/sl/10
- later it want to define \EU2/LinuxLibertineO(0)/m/it/10 to be the same thing
(probably an optimisation) and tries do so by using \fontname\font to get the
name of the current font
- \fontname\font expands to:
name:Linux Libertine O/I:mode=node;script=latn;language=DFLT;+tlig;+trep;
an TeX obviouly think the font name stops at the space, hence tries to load
"name:Linux " which fails. Quoting the font name fixes that.

Now, my turn to have no idea: I have no idea what you did in fontspec to fix
that without patching \do at subst@correction :-)

Manuel.
