You'd need:
\override Voice.Beam #'collision-voice-only = ##t

But to me this still seems like a bug - I'm not sure why the stem pulls down 
the beam whereas the NoteHead does not.

Try:

\new Staff {
 \time 6/8
 \key a \major
 \clef treble
 <<
   { <d'' fis''>4 d'''16 b'' e'''4. }
   \\
   { d'4. e }
   \\

   \\
   { %\override Voice.Beam #'collision-voice-only = ##t
  \override Voice.Beam #'collision-interfaces = #'(beam-interface
                                                   clef-interface
                                                   inline-accidental-interface
                                                   key-signature-interface
                                                   note-head-interface
                                                   ;stem-interface
                                                   time-signature-interface)

s4 s8 <fis'' a''> <e'' gis''> <b' gis''> }
 >>
}
