Does slipstreaming apply across the finish line when the last space before it is an uphill?

The rulebook's ascent rule stops slipstream on an uphill finish, and the posts agree on a flat finish.

No. If the space before the finish line is an ascent, no slipstreaming carries riders across the line, because a rider on an ascent can neither give nor receive it. On a flat finish, riders past the line slipstream normally.
