Looking at this using a far more sensitive slip indicator - the piece of wool on the outside of a glider canopy.

Consider the aircraft turning with neutral rudder. The airflow over the nose will be coming from slightly into turn, making it look like you are slipping. A slight amount of into turn rudder will compensate for this.

As a result, some opposite aileron is also needed to keep the bank constant.
