Possibly yes.  On the other hand, this never seem to happen if the exact
same situation is being moved away from Y-offset 0 (the middle line).

I think it'd be favourable in any case to have a well-defined tie direction
in these neutral cases, i.e. pointing away from the neutral stem direction. 
Tie.neutral-direction gives the impression to determine the tie direction in
neutral/undecided cases, but it obviously doesn't.

As Harm said, explicitly setting the tie direction is very unsatisfactory at
least if transposing instruments are concerned.

Isn't that a case for the issue tracker? "Unambiguously respect
Tie.neutral-direction"?

All the best,
Torsten
