I think you might be right on the lifting of crap out of the surface. If they are putting a water disperser in the salt that would almost certainly contain or act as a detergent which would lift the oils and possibly even leech out some of the tar from the surface.
So many reports of slips this year I wonder if they have changed the formula, tho I had a big off last year that I still maintain was down to the post-salt pre-rain sludge.
