Yes, you are right!

It seems that wall accessories can draw true arcs, while slab accessories cannot...

Roofs can't either, can they?
On other hand, 3D doesn't follow wall geometry (curved walls), so nothing is perfect.
@James.
I am afraid you will have to adapt wall accessory 2D data to slab accessory, to achieve this. Good luck, and a lot of patience.
@Howard.
May be you already did it? I remember a nice slab accessory you wrote.
Cheers,
Olivier

Why can't that ac_coords data be in x, y, s format, like it would be if you saved the slab as an object? Instead it's this weird hack to say where the polygons end, and no other status codes in sight.

Well, the wall accessories directly ask the walls if they are curved, since there's a subtype parameter for that. On the slab, you would have to analyze a series of points to see if it might represent a curve. It would hurt my head and it wouldn't be very robust IMO.
So it seems difficult/impossible to achieve this. May be the reason why GS did not implement this feature.
And yes, struggling with these ac_coords and ac_whole_poly params is a pain.

@Jame,
There is a way to determine if the segment is curve. However it's very complicated.
I would like to help. Let me know what's that you are trying to do.
