It's not ambiguous at all.  6.2.2.2 clearly states:

	A 'valid' Input Slot Context for a Configure Endpoint Command
	requires the Context Entries field to be initialized to the
	index of the last valid Endpoint Context that is defined by the
	_target configuration_.

(my emphasis).

Thus, if the current config has ep0, ep1, and ep2 and the command drops
ep1, the Context Entries field should be set to the index of ep2 since
that is the last valid Endpoint Context in the target config (which
has only ep0 and ep2).
