surely this has happened in a big match, what's the rule??

B
I had a tip come off during a game in a small tournament and I finished the game with a house cue - then quickly glued my tip back on between games with the super glue I always carried. After the match I replaced the tip with a new Elk Master which was my tip of choice back then.
I didn't use a break cue back then and only had an Eckes cue which I used to break and for play.

My Galaxie. Scot Sherbine did an amazing job bringing it back to life. Elegant cue and springy as all heck. Still play with it weekly.

Chalk - Is This A Foul?

If the ball hit the chalk, it’s a foul. If the chalk bounced off the rail due to the cushion compression, no foul.

3.6 TOUCHED BALL
It is a foul to touch, move or change the path of any object-ball except by the normal ball-to- ball contacts during shots. It is a foul to touch, move or change the path of the cue-ball except when it is in hand or by the normal tip-to-ball forward stroke contact of a shot.
The shooter is responsible for the equipment he controls at the table, such as chalk, bridges, clothing, his hair, parts of his body, and the cue-ball when it is in hand, that may be involved in such fouls. If such a foul is accidental, it is a standard foul, but if it is intentional, it is 3.16 Unsportsmanlike Conduct

But what happens if the cue ball or an object ball gets on top of the rail and hits a piece of chalk? The ball on top of the rail by itself shouldnt be a foul, I think most of us has seen that happen before.

I had a tip fly off of my break cue once. My opponent offered me the use of his break cue for the rest of the match, I declined and used my player, thats normally how I break anyhow. That will teach me to use a break cue. It angered me because it was a new Bulletproof tip, I finally found it after 30 minutes of searching, it was about 50 feet away under a table against a wall. o_Oo_O
