I think I found at least part of the problem - I tried saving my settings to m.nviz.image and the command saved zexag=0 although mine is set to 0.3,
I got 2 when I set it to 2.3. Looking at the gxw file it is also saved z-exag as integer 0. Changing it to FP should fix it.

I am pretty sure it is the resolution - perhaps integers cutting 0.3 to 0 somewhere. Here is my slice 
when my res3 is set to 1 - it works perfectly and the new controls are much easier to use

when I set my res3 to higher resolution, the slices do not show up. 
the image is eroding stream bank, so that is why the surface is vertical.
