I don't know what to say. I have never, ever been able to create a
backwards half-tie in a second ending unless there was something in the
last bar of the first ending.
Crap, I just tried it again, and now it works! OK, never mind.
I wonder if the order in which I do things changes whether the half-tie
disappears or not? Because I tried it just before I send the last
reply, and it behaved as I said the last time I tried it.

First ending has nothing in the last bar as you said.
On Speedy Entry, you are correct on the clicking if you have a
Macintosh. On a Windows machine, you Control Click it as there is no
Option Key on.

Try an empty measure as the last measure in the first ending. It
won't work. The option will be selected, and the half-tie will appear
while the frame is open, then disappear when you exit the frame.
There HAS to be something, even rests, in the preceding measure for
backwards half-ties to work.
Also Speedy Entry, control click on the measure doesn't open Measure
Attributes on a US keyboard, and in any case, the Tie End option
isn't there. You have to Opt-click the measure in Speedy Entry, and
it opens the Edit Frame attributes.
As a shortcut, you can be in Speedy Entry on the notehead and hit
opt-= to have the tie go backwards, which creates the half-tie in a
second ending. Strangely, opt-T doesn't work at all, even though
either = OR T creates a forwards tie; only opt-= creates the
backwards tie.
