Initargs are still tags and only tags. But slot reference is only a
"naked" slot name (with oref/oset), or else a quoted symbol (with
eieio-{oref,oset}, or slot-value and set-slot-value). oref and oset are
just thin wrappers around the eieio-* versions.

I can't say why! I'm also a little uncomfortable about the "naked"
versions, and for the same reason -- my brain keeps seeing them as
variables.

That I couldn't tell you.
