I usually make a forward tie, then use the Special Tools to move it backwards. The only time I've run into trouble is when the note started 16 bars of tied whole notes. In this case, a slur was fine (edited at 400% zoom).
When you have to create a backwards tie in a second ending, Opt-= in Speedy (on a Mac) will do it, but only if there are notes in the last measure of the 1st ending! Why this restriction, and why it is restricted to ONLY the first measure of a second ending, is beyond me, but there it is.
