I don't think it is safe to assume that a construction like c)( is not 
to be expected in valid musical scores. Schenker graphs aside, at least 
for phrasing slurs (which show the same behaviour that Kieren described) 
it's quite common e.g. in Wagner scores to have them end and start again 
on the same note.
