On the topic of slippery paint, a bigger "threat" is lack of knowledge on the "no weight on the nosewheel" situation. Widebody people generally are aware, but it's less known with 737 classic and NG skippers as FOs have less taxi experience prior upgrade. It's a remark that is commonly made when upgrading these FO's.

This Ryanair has already proven they can easily get it done on a dry runway as well...

(ok, Ryanair folks... I know the purple video is out there :-))

Anyway, not saying this is what happened here. Lots is possible.
