I was more or less wrong. According to the answer from Han-Wen,
you shouldn't expect nested slurs to work at all. It seems that,
by coincidence, nested slurs do work at the moment if neither
the starting note nor the ending note of the slurs coincide
(in your example, the acciaccatura slur ends at the same note
as the other slur).
