I think the last one matches the intention quite well.

Sure, that would work.  Or what about "stemmedGlissando"?

It seems to me that this is a special case of using stems to impose some sort of articulation (like bow changes) on a glissando, such as you see all over the place in Lutoslawski.

Mike S. worked on this a while back, but unfortunately the patch is marked "abandoned".  The issue is 1727, where he refers to them as "glissando stems."

HTH,
