I currently have my steering column apart, and indeed the long stator tube
has cracks at the end of the slot, just as you described. Is there any
repair ?

Carl,
While they're out of the car, separate the two stator tubes and have a look
at the slot in the long stator tube. It's not uncommon to see cracks
radiating from the two corners at the end of the slot. If they get bad
enough, the trafficator will start moving with the steering wheel when it's
turned.
When I've made replacement long stator tubes, I've cut the slot with a
slotting saw as original, but then gone back in with an end mill and
radiused the end of the slot, removing the sharp corners (stress risers)
left by the slotting saw.
Cheers,
