So what do you expect for

{ <\hide c'' e''>4 }

Stem or no stem?

I might add that

{ <\single\hide Stem c'' g''>4 }

hides the Stem (since its cause points to the c'' NoteHead) while

{ <c'' \single\hide Stem g''>4 }

doesn't hide it (since its cause points to the c'' NoteHead).

So it's somewhat tricky to derive a consistent behavior here.
