Normally, a tremolo is typeset with three beams, so you rather want
\repeat tremolo 12 {c32 e}

No, this bug has was fixed in version 1.6.1 (except for the 
documentation).

However, there's another bug, namely that all note heads 
correspond to half the duration of the tremolo, not to the 
full duration of the tremolo, as it should This is exactly 
the problem that Michal observed in his second email. 
I'm fairly convinced that this worked correctly in version 
1.6.1 and I don't manage to track down where in the source 
code it should be fixed.
