I agree that it looks weird, but LilyPond behaviour is correct
according to engraving books (i think i saw this in Ross or Gould).
Besides, if there are more notes in such chords, this alignment starts
to make sense:

\score {
  <<
    \new Voice { <d'f'a' b'>1 }
    \new Voice { <b' c''e''g''>1 }
  >>
}

best,
Janek
