This behavior is ugly but expected. You're requesting that the left end of the bracket be moved 10 staff-spaces to the right and the right end be moved 0 ss. The way to shorten the bracket would be something like: \override TupletBracket.shorten-pair = #'(2 . 2) Maybe there should be a cap on the amount that a bracket can be shortened to prevent the inversion in your example? The bracket either won't shorten any more or that part of it disappears?
