I don't think it was a slip -- you hit the nail on the head. The key point of the story I posted was the same:
...they might have mentally reverted to the habit pattern of taxiing down [05R]. If so, then they subconsciously expected to turn right off that taxiway and then make another immediate right turn into the takeoff position on runway 05L...
Although I think this reversion to habit pattern is the mostly likely explanation for the mistake, the only problem is that the turn from 05R into 05L is separated by a good 150 m of straight t/w if I remember correctly from the report. So it's not really a continuous 180 degree turn. Puzzling huh.
