Sure: it's the bracket-visibility attribute; compare below:


%%% BRACKET-VISIBILITY %%%

\version "2.11.27"

\new RhythmicStaff {
   \times 2/3 {
      c'8 c'8 c'8
   }
   \override TupletBracket #'bracket-visibility = ##t
   \times 2/3 {
      c'8 c'8 c'8
   }
}

%%% END %%%


I tried setting bracket-visibility = ##t in Tuukka's example but still
there is no bracket under the second figure. I've always corrected
this sort of thing by simply adding more spacing (usually by using
proportional notation). But I think I agree that it's bug and that
lily should at least print a very very small bracket in this case.
