Slurs are attached to notes (and entered after the note, hence 
"post-events"). \time 6/8 is new music occuring at the same time as b4, 
but you can't meaningfully attach a slur to a time signature change.

The solution is simple: Attacht the opening slur to your note c, i.e. c( 
\time 6/8 instead of c \time 6/8 (.

By the way, I'd recommend to put the \time 6/8 onto its own line:

\relative c' {
  \time 5/8
  \tempo 4 = 86
  d8 e fis4 e8
  d e4 d8 c(
  \time 6/8
  b4) d8 b a4
  \bar "|."
}
