You're right, of course, that the eventual angle of the split stem falls
within a pretty wide range. What I did to determine the anchor point was
put the glyph into Illustrator, then draw a line of the same thickness as
our recommended stem width, and then try a variety of different angles to
see where the end of the line would e.g. poke into the counter in the half
note notehead at different angles. It's not perfect, by any means, and
perhaps as our own application's drawing becomes more sophisticated, we
may even want to define multiple anchors for our own purposes, according
to the eventual angle of the split stem.
