Actually, the more sensible literal expectation would be the list
'(cons "text/html" mm-automatic-display); i.e., both cons and m-a-d
would be treated as uninterpreted symbols.

I'd say that's a bug, but you could probably work around it with
something like this:
(setq gnus-parameters
      `(("" ;; explicitly specify the defaults
         (mm-automatic-display ,mm-automatic-display)
         (mm-discouraged-alternatives ,mm-discouraged-alternatives))
        ("\\`nnslashdot[+:]" ;; override for nnslashdot groups
         (mm-automatic-display
          ,(cons "text/html" mm-automatic-display))
         (mm-discouraged-alternatives
          ,(remove "text/html"
                   (remove "text/richtext" mm-discouraged-alternatives))))))
This assumes you first set m-a-d and m-d-a to the appropriate values
for non-slashdot groups.
