Addendum-- In other words, even if the tie had a greater minimum-length
(which seems to be the subject of the bug/issue Graham mentioned), it
seems like the tie should not be stopped by the flat symbol of another
note, but should arc over the flat symbol.

However, having just writting that, I can now imagine other
circumstances, when the tied note is *not* the top note of the chord for
instance, when it would probably seem more logical and look better for
the tie to avoid collision with a flat symbol by stopping short of the
flat and not extending to the notehead, rather than arcing over the
flat to the notehead.

So I guess it is a very complicated issue.
