OK, this is something I hadn't heard of. So thinking through the logic - the only reason why it would continue producing tubers *this* year is that it's still attached to the plant (otherwise it doesn't have the means to produce tubers). So as long as the plant is still healthy, does it matter whether or not the 'parent' tuber is still intact?
