Unfortunately not.  I spent five minute working on this; see below.

- when preparing a bug report, music sense doesn't matter.
- bug reports should generally not include special \overrides.  If you 
can reproduce the behavior using very simple notation (as I have below), 
that indicates a more serious bug.


%Beam collides with notehead in polyphonic music with
% three voices in a staff

\version "2.11.12"
\paper { ragged-last = ##t }
\relative c'' {
  <<
    { e2 }  \\
    { e,2 } \\
    { s2 } \\
    { e'8 c e c }
  >>
}
