Well, it really sucks when the head of the presta valve comes off the valve and gets stuck in the pump after you put air in the tire.
I would replace it.

Yeah, I'd replace it, just to be on the safe side.
At least I don't leave slime trails.

I mentioned this as a side note at my LBS this afternoon when I dropped by to pick something up and they also said to change the tube...and apparently they can replace the valve core properly. They said I don't have the right tool for it but they can fix the valve and it can still serve as a spare.
