I confirm, the offending instances have the clef change in the bass.
The concern with fixing the first segment via \shape is the correction would be useful when the slur is broken, but undesirable when not. We typeset the same source with different paper sizes, so there's a real chance fix, or no fix, one of the versions will show an undesirable slur shape. Forcing or preventing a system break is non-ideal either.
Interestingly enough, I'm updating the piece from LilyPond 2.1. LP v2.1 slur in this situation was not as affected by this (see attached).
Below is a minimal example that causes the issue/bug:
\version "2.18.2"
\score {
<<
{ c''2 c''4 c''\( \break c''1\) }
{ c''1 \clef bass c' }
>>
}
