I'm not sure what you want to do here - leave a g4 notehead with no stem?

That's probably not the reason, more likely because an accidental is not an
articulation.  (The IR is a little misleading on this point.)

But increasing the demerit for a collision with an accidental seems to help:

\override Slur.details.accidental-collision = 100

Might need to play with the value if avoiding the collision is worse than 
accepting
it in some of the cases.
