At the risk of prolonging the bike-shedding, here's my take.  For me, the key 
consideration is to provide an easily remembered name that can be internally 
vocalised as the slur is typed in.  And we need a user-centric (not 
developer-centric) word - what is the user's conception of such a slur?  Also 
we need an attribute of the end point of the slur, not the slur as a whole, 
since it is to be applied to an end point.  The word should fit comfortably as 
an adjective in the phrase "xxx slur start/end"  as "free slur end" to aid 
vocalisation.

I'm not keen on \broken or \fake; they have other incorrect and unhelpful 
connotations.  \detached or \free are better.  Others might be \floating, 
\hanging, \loose, \dangling, although these are a bit long.  Of all the 
suggestions so far I prefer \free.
