There's two possibilities. One is that the shed remnants are not restricting the blood flow to the end of the tail. Gently removing it is still a good idea in preparation for the next shed. The second possibility is that the restricted blood flow caused the cells to die in the tail, and the end will fall off on its own. If the vet is not concerned I'm not, but the comment that it will fall off had me wondering.
