Sorry, i didn't notice it... I did a search for "suspended" which
returned only #1779, which is the cause of my consideration.
However, i agree with Neil that these two issues are related, but not the same.

Good example!  It reminded me that usually there are less suspended
notes in a chord than normal ones (i.e. in your example the third pair
consists of chords with two normal notes and one suspended).  Because
of that it is indeed better not to "align horizontally" such note
columns (in other words, last two measures from attached example are
typeset correctly indeed).
However, i'm unsure about the unequal measure length in that example.
Going back to your Lily vs. Gould comparison, i don't like Gould's way
of typesetting last pair of note columns.  It obscures the
simultaneousness of musical events in my opinion.

thanks,
Janek
