I use it on single curves as well. Actually in my function 
\staffSlur  #`(0 0 -.1 .1 ,rat 0 ,len 0)

and

\shape #`((0 . 0) (-.1 . .1) (,rat . 0) (,len . 0)) Slur

reacted the exact same way. However neither did exactly what I wanted. I tested cases that probably would never happen. Slurs up down etc. And in both cases they failed. You see I don't need to rebuild the entire slur each time just a small tweak. That's the purpose of the function. This said I noticed that changing

(+ (list-ref offsets (1+ (* 1 n))) ;was (* 2 n)))

solved the problem. Since i had the code for shapeSlur it was just more convenient to modify, instead of searching where shape was. I did follow suit with the name however.

Thanks again

Thanks for the help. I couldn't get minimum-length to do anything, however I was able to solve the problem using a modified version of shapeSlur (is that the predecessor of shape?) in conjunction with other things,

It is, but why you can't use \shape is not clear.  The functionality is the same--displacing default control-points.  Of course, \shape is designed to work on single curves rather than as an override of multiple curves.
