Actually, if you convert your slurs to measure-attached, you can put the expression with the opaque background on the system you intend.

I need to place small text items that interrupt slurs. I have tried
creating shape expressions anchored after the spot I want to mask the
slur but a redraw brings back the underlying slur.

If your text items are expressions try enclosing them, making the
background opaque, putting them in the position you want and then
setting the frame to zero width. I set up quite a complicated masking of
the lower part at the beginning of a two-staff section in a string part
using opaque shapes, just blank rectangles with no text, as recommended
by someone on this list (sorry I can't remember who to give them the
credit!). However, I've just tried creating a text expression and
superimposing it first on a crescendo hairpin, which worked, and then on
a slur which didn't! Very mysterious. I'm using FinWin 2000c.
