It should (unless Castle coded it to ignore Accuracy (i can ask, but i don't think he did)), but the Defense debuff does an admirable job of keeping it strong against most foes anyway. If you are going to try to leverage some +Acc into the power, try not to sacrifice the other aspects of the power. It won't be doing you much good if it's hitting reliably but only dealing half of the damage that it could, or taking twice as long to recharge as it would if you'd given it more +Recharge, or costing you two arms and a leg in endurance, etc.|

The 25% Defense debuff will lose strength against foes above your level, so some Accuracy would help it hit more reliably, but on the other hand, those same higher level foes also resist the Slow, so if you are fighting enemies which are high enough above your level to make OSA miss frequently, you're probably also going to have difficulty keeping them in the AoE unless you're also slotting for Slow and stacking it with Glue.
Six of one, half a dozen of another. *shrug*
The power will not benefit from Accuracy enhancements, as no power the pet uses is set up to accept them. The oil will only benefit from Slow and Defense debuff enhancements, and the fire will only benefit from Damage enhancements.
Basically, you can get Accuracy in the power, but the pet doesn't know what to do with it because it only knows to inherit certain boosts.
Oil Slick Arrow takes Slow and Targeted AOE sets, all of which include some Accuracy enhancements. But OSA does not take Acc enhancements itself. I read in the excellent Trick Arrow Enchiridion that the OSA fire damage ticks are not auto-hit.
