No, it's not comparable. The slur engraver generates one big slur that
encompasses all notes; after line breaking, a routine generates a copy
and trims all grob pointers (including the note head ones) that are
not in the same system as the copied slur.

The correct solution would be to hack the appropriate engravers to
remember the state at the start of the alternative and recreate that
at the following alternatives.  That would be very hairy though.
