Are you sure?
Then, why doesn't both voices get thick stems in 2nd measure of the following:

thickStems = \notes \property Current.Stem \set #'thickness = #5.0
mel = \notes \transpose c''' {c d e f}
\score { 
  \notes \context Staff=sv <
    \context Voice=va { \stemUp \mel \mel} 
    \context Voice=vb \transpose c {
      \stemDown \thickStems \mel \context Staff \thickStems \mel
    }
  >  
  \paper { linewidth=-1
    \translator { \ScoreContext \alias Current } 
    \translator { \StaffContext \alias Current }
    \translator { \VoiceContext \alias Current } 
  }
}

Please do! :)
(I feel much more like hacking lilypond, but my fellow students don't....)
Perhaps I'll return in the middle of May, but not before.
