Hello,

Thank you for your well-informed report. This is actually a known issue:

https://gitlab.com/lilypond/lilypond/-/issues/5379

Basically, the script stops reacting to the tuplet bracket because it 
thinks it will be outside of the slur and the bracket will be inside, as 
if the slur were up. I once tried to limit that to the case where the 
directions are the same, but got stuck in cyclic dependencies.

Best regards,
Jean
