I'm not sure I agree with this conclusion.  The scan that was provided shows
two of the stem-up notes aligned.  I suppose that that could be an engraving
error from the scanned piece.  I'm not sure where one goes to find out if the 
two notes should be aligned or should be separated (which the voiceFive 
construct does quite nicely).

If the piece in question is "properly" engraved, then we might want to have
LilyPond produce similar behavior.  If not, then there's no reason to go 
after it.

BTW, the scanned piece shows a rising beam on the second set of beamed notes,
while LilyPond's is horizontal.  This is also an engraving difference that might
want to be adjusted, or perhaps not.  It all depends on the quality of the
scanned piece.
