Lilypond 2.14.2 did a better job, even though its output could be
improved tie.

I understand that Lilypond shifts the tie lower to avoid collision
with the accidental, and it would look OK if there were no notes below
that are not tied.

It's tempting to call it a regression.  However, I don't think Lilypond
has logic to make ties unambiguous, so the fix would be either to
revert collision avoidance and decrease quality of other scores, or to
add such logic, which might be a difficult task.
