David replied to me

"Yes.  DOM node collections throw exceptions on slice, not arguments."

ECMA-262 3rd 15.4.4.10

"The slice function is intentionally generic; it does not require that
its this value be an Array object. Therefore it can be transferred to
other kinds of objects for use as a method. Whether the slice function
can be applied successfully to a host object is implementation-
dependent."
