Routing it over the tab makes the lever arm of the derailleur slightly longer so it requires less tension to move the derailleur, but moves slightly less with each mm of cable movement.
If the cable is routed under this tab, the derailleur will be much more difficult to move, and the indexing (if it is indexed) will not work properly.
There seemed to be an indent on the FD, where the fixing bolt pinned the cable, as best I can recall.
