For the French 6th actually calling it E7(b5)/Bb holds a lot more musical information. Obviously for the German 6th this is problematic leading to E7(b5b9)no root - which is kludgy.... especially when Bb7 does the trick. Bb7/Ab here is just functioning as a tritone substitution and not an augmented 6th which would have Bb as the root not Ab.
