Yes, that's the way it works currently.

There's currently no way of avoiding slots being properties of each
object when using newQObject(), I'm afraid.
If there were a QScriptEngine::ExcludeMethods wrap option, you could
have a prototype object that doesn't use that option, whereas instances
that do use it; this should give you the desired behavior. But there is
no such option (yet).
