Just looking at the spares diagram/pdf, the groove looks more consistent with capt_phun's left diagram than the right one (which I understand you feel is a little off).

But I don't have this FD to look at. Agree that you pix from cyclingnews make it look like those FD's were installed with the wire coming almost horizontally into the pinch bolt.

Shame on Campy for not supplying clear cable routing instructions with the new FD.

I'll agree about this "tab" now that I've looked at the picture. It looks like it's there to get the cable aligned at the bottom of the groove. The cable would not be routed inside the tab, or it wouldn't align with the groove.

With the help of 300% magnification in adobe reader, I see the same.
