wow.. that must have been a very difficult screw up.. that took some work to achieve.... i'd definitely route the cable thru the slot.
and the routing shown will change the pull ratio...

most of the time when i see things like this,, people have tried to trap the cable with the anti-spin tab on the cable clamp plate... i'm surprized the cable wasn't routed to the opposite side of the screw.
