What I mean is: These final 16ths look pretty good, but they cause the
corresponding 8th notes in the top and bottom staff to be spaced pretty
irregularly. And in effect inacceptably.

As I have to get that score ready ASAP I can't wait for a proper fix (if
it should be considered a bug) but need a workaround that works better
than having to space the notes in all measures manually.

Well, a more abstract and minimal example is

\version "2.18.2"

\score {
  <<
    \new Staff {
      \repeat unfold 4 { e'16 g' c'' g' }
    }
    \new Staff {
      \repeat unfold 8 c''8
    }
  >>
}

resulting in the attached image.

I think the irregularity of the lower staff's eight notes is more
important than the nice "optical" spacing of the 16ths above.
