Nobody has claimed that the clashes are not an awful bug.  At this point
there is nobody with the interest, ability, and time to resolve that bug.
You are welcome to join the development team and work on that bug.  I'll be
happy to provide any support I can.

While this may be syntactically valid LilyPond code, it seems to me to be
improper (i.e. to not match the intent of the input construction}.

the << \\ >> context is intended to be single staff polyphony (see Learning
Manual 1.5.2).

Why would one add a \new Staff in single staff polyphony?

It seems to me that a better way to get two staffs is parallel is to do the
following:

\version "2.13.7"
 \paper{ ragged-right=##t }
   {
     << 
        \relative c'' {d16 c a d,}
        \new Staff {
          \relative c {\clef bass c!16 a d fis, }
        }
     >>
   }

(Note the missing \\).

HTH,
