actually it's not a slur, it's a misprinted tie:

{
 \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t
 e'8~ e' e' e' e' e' e' e'
 \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##f
 d'16 d' d' d' d' d' d' d' d'8 r8 r4
}

if any of the e-naturals are tied, a tie gets printed between the first 2 
d-naturals

if you remove the tie:

{
\set Score.skipTypesetting = ##t
 e'8 e' e' e' e' e' e' e'
 \set Score.skipTypesetting = ##f
 d'16 d' d' d' d' d' d' d' d'8 r8 r4
}

It's fine. weird...
