Slurs don't nest.  The current implementation does not complain about
spurious slur starts/ends.  It's only when the directions on slur starts
are straightforwardly incompatible that it sets double slurs (which
allows you to tweak the slurs from double slurs independently).

So pick the version you like better.  2.14 or so is a bit unpredictable
in its complaints (and will typeset only one slur anyway).

There is ongoing work for allowing multiple parallel spanners in other
ways.  I don't know whether this will change this behavior.
