It's facing down. It would take some time to correct, but that time is
worth it now if it's going to cause moisture buildup in my attic in the
future. Sounds like you don't think it really matters much. It
certainly isn't an air tight seal so I guess it may be OK...

Persanally, I'd remove it. The potential for damage is too high. Expecially if the previous insulation has no vapor
barrier. Slashing it repeatedly might do the job, but is probably as much work as removing the barrier. The risk is
condensation getting the old insulation wet, rotting the wood beneath or causing ceiling problems or mold.
