Only recently.   Dan made the behavior adjustable and then I added a 
user-interface for version 2.19.16.
https://code.google.com/p/lilypond/issues/detail?id=4198

I only documented the behavior in the brief function docstring :

partcombine - chord-range [number-pair] part1 (music) part2 (music)
   Take the music in /part1/ and /part2/ and return
a music expression containing simultaneous voices, where /part1/
and /part2/ are combined into one voice where appropriate.
Optional /chord-range/ sets the distance in steps between notes
that may be combined into a chord or unison.
