You said the increased camber decreases the critical AoA, but the second graph shows extension of the leading edge flap, which also increases the camber of the wing, increases the critical AoA. | |

Reverse example is extending only LE slats. Result is a reduced wings AoA, which means critical AoA increases. The fact that tips stall last when flaps are down comes from their small AoA, relative to increased AoA, flaps extended wing roots. | |
