Hello,

That's somewhat expected. The dots from the two notes are
merged through killing one, and it happens to be the one
from the lower voice. As a workaround, don't use \hideNotes,
or cancel part of its effects, like this:

\version "2.22.0"


{
  \clef "treble"
  <<
    {
      g'2( a'2
      \hideNotes
      \revert Dots.transparent
      g'2.)
    }
    \\
    {
      f'1~ <f' g'>2.
    }
  >>
}
