That's how they should be notated.

What would you like LilyPond to do?  It seems that the durations are
wrongly specified; LilyPond just tries to place a barline where it
should be.  Maybe you're looking for something like this
http://www.lilypond.org/doc/v2.16/Documentation/notation/displaying-rhythms#automatic-note-splitting
?
And by the way, the first bar contains only one half of the quarter
note - the second half (which looks like some empty space) is placed
after the barline.
