Right. There is an italic version there. I am not sure what kind of font,
fontspec expects to load when using slanted shape. I thought it would use
Italic if slanted shape does not exist.

How about:

\setmainfont[SlantedFont={Liberation Serif Italic}]{Liberation Serif}

I do not get that with Liberation serif but I believe that is a fontspec
bug.
