This is my solution. Note that the hidden notes share the same voice,  
voiceTwo, and that it is a different voice from the the `real' notes.  
This automatically merges the noteheads of the hidden notes with the  
ones they replace. Otherwise an ugly gap appears between the `real'  
note and the start of the glissando.

\version "2.11.62"
\score {
  \relative c'' {
    \time 3/2
    %% double glissando
    << { \voiceOne r8 e a e g d g d e c e c | } \\
       { \hideNotes \voiceTwo s4 a'4\glissando g8 s s4 s4 s4  
\unHideNotes  | } \\
       { \hideNotes \voiceTwo s8 s4 e4\glissando d8 s4 s4 s4  
\unHideNotes | } \\
       { \voiceFour a,1. }
     >>

  }
}

So Kieran, thanks a lot for pointing me in the right direction!
