From the Laconic section over at Tropes...

"The moral of the story goes against conventional wisdom, but is not necessarily invalid."

It's differentiated from a Broken Aesop in that, while the Family-Unfriendly Aesop has a decidedly severe meaning that is still valid nonetheless (like, say, "lying can be a good thing") a Broken Aesop is an aesop who's validity falls apart when you look at it.
