I tried doing what you described but the output seems quite acceptable...
Can you please do the following:
- create a complete code (two staves with above tuplets shifted by 1
measure or whatever else that show that wrong output),
- create a png from it (either directly, see Program usage 3.2.2
http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.12/Documentation/user/lilypond-program/Command-line-options-for-lilypond#Command-line-options-for-lilypond.
or indirectly, by creating a pdf and taking a screenshot of it),
- mark what's wrong on that png,
- send the png with the code that was used to create it to the mailing
list (png must be small - max 60 kB if i remember correctly - or you
have to host it somewhere and send us a link)

cheers,
Janek
