Why would you use the part combiner?  I know SATB as basically

\new ChoirStaff
<< \new Staff { \clef "treble" << { \soprano } \\ { \alto } >> }
   \new Staff { \clef "bass" << { \tenor } \\ { \bass } >> }
>>

namely _without_ joining stems.  At any rate, if you want soprano/alto
to retain upwards/downwards slurs, just write ^( and _( explicitly
(\slurUp/\slurDown is not strong enough).
