If they plate, they will plate all edges of milled slot.

I do not know exactly how they operate but no, not necessarily. Usually if there is copper on top and bottom of the milling operation then they plate. If not, then not.
JLCPCB are no Eurocircuits but the later stated that they do it that way. Would guess that´s the norm, maybe?
bson:
The copper on the panel tab needs edge clearance.  This is probably what's confusing them - their system probably alerts when it sees a V groove cut across copper, or too close to it, as I bet this is typically indicative of a problem.

I made my first order with them by the end of October last year. I designed my boards in KiCad and their gerber viewer seemed to have no problems with my design.
Didn't get free shipping (didn't even know that was a thing) and chose the cheapest option they had for my country (~ $10 USD). The order total was of course, around $12.

Boards arrived almost an exact month later, by the last days of November, so I can't really complain. That is quite fast for my choice of "cheapping", especially to my country, where the post office takes their sweet time with everything they handle.

$12 USD for 10 professionally manufactured PCBs right at my doorstep in 1 month time seems like a really good deal to me.

Quality-wise I was (and still am) pleasantly surprised. I've attached a picture of the boards I got, still wrapped in their generously provided rubber band. They didn't have any problem handling the "intricacies" of my design (like the rounded corners of the board). The only "quality" issue I see, is that the green paint kinda fades near the edge of the board (visible where I had some traced text at the bottom).

Overall I'm quite happy with the result and will probably order from them again for any project where building more than 1 unit is desirable ($12 is cheap, and 1 month is not a long time, but still a waste of both resources (money and time) if I only need 1 single-layer board for a one-shot circuit).
