You save the symbol separately/independently from the sheet?
This should not be necessary.

Do you edit the symbol with "down_symbol" from the hierarchy tab? 
This edits the symbol in the library, not its instance in the schematic. 
Change the slot of an instance of a symbol in a schematic with the 
attribute editor (accel [ee]). The pin number should immediately 
change.

This should not be necessesary to make slotting effective.

Sounds like you somehow changed the symbol name to 7404-3
