The slur should begin with the first of the two tied notes.
The tie should remain close enough to the notehead so as not to leave an unsightly gap, and the slur ending would be moved slightly vertically so as not to overlap the tie.
In my opinion.
That is my personal preference as well, though I'll sometimes make exceptions if the context warrants it.
Johannes is right that there are separate traditions in this and both are valid. It's a style issue, and you have to decide which style you're choosing to follow, whether it's your judgment as a scholar in terms of matching an appropriate historical style or it's your judgment as an engraver in terms of deciding what you consider more readable and attractive.
The same problem applies to the end of the slur in a phrase that ends on a tied note.
