For those who are interested, here is the solution (thanks to Eluze and
Thomas Morley):

\layout {
  \context {
    \PianoStaff
    \consists #Span_stem_engraver
  }
}

{
  \new PianoStaff <<
    \new Staff {
      \stemDown
      \autoBeamOff
      \crossStaff { < b d'>4 r d'16\> e'8. g8} r\!
      \autoBeamOn
      e'8 f' g'4 e'2
    }
    \new Staff {
      \clef bass
      \voiceOne
      \stemDown
      <e g>4 e, g16 a8. c8 d
      g8 f g4 c2
    }
  >>
} 

If there are two or more voices within the staff originating the cross-staff
stem, it might be necessary to shift notes that should not be connected to
the cross-staff stem, e.g.

\layout {
  \context {
    \Score
    autoBeaming = ##f
  }
  \context {
    \PianoStaff
    \consists #Span_stem_engraver
  }
}

\new PianoStaff <<
  \new Staff <<
    \new Voice {
      \voiceOne \shiftOn
      g''4
    }
    \new Voice {
      < b d'>8 [ < b d'>8 ]
    }
  >>
  \new Staff {
    \clef bass
    \new Voice {
      \voiceOne
      \crossStaff { <e g>8 <e g>8 }
    }
  }
>> 

Maybe these examples could be added to the snippets or to the
documentation...
