I've looked this up in Elaine Gould's "Behind Bars", and both stem tremolos on 
beamed notes  (pp.224ff) as well as drum rolls (pp.294ff) use the same slope as 
the tremolo flags without beams. In no case is the tremolo beam adjusted to 
have the same slope as the beam.

Gardner Read's "Music Notation" also shows an example on p.393 with the 
tremolo slashed NOT adjusted with the beam.

Neither has Kurt Stone's "Music Notation in the Twentieth Century" (see 
pp.148ff).

So, I couldn't find any reference that the tremolo slashes should be aligned 
with the beam. To the contrary, all standard notation reference use the same 
slope as on notes without a beam.

Cheers,
Reinhold
