What is your main editor?

Good to know!

They seem to be present in both images, and although one could argue for how long those ties should be (I think they're fine), I wonder if the engravers would have placed them at the same position in the bar had there NOT been any repea...

p.s. otherwise, just removing these slashes makes the perfect sense for me for the moment.
