Curve fitting using UF_MODL_create_fitted_spline with end slopes

I am trying to fit a curve using UF_MODL_create_fitted_spline providing end slopes. One end of the created spline shows a loop back due to the slope constraint. I have observed that NX decides the direction of the slope vector automatically. I tried negating the slope vector but still it causes a loop back. What causes this loop-back and what is the workaround for this?

I have 7 points for fitting with order 3. For a higher order 6, I see the loop-back getting reduced but the curve seems to be over constrained.
