This is an intrinsic default of the << { ... } \\ { ... } >> contruct.
The music within this construct is contained in 2 voices called "1" and
"2" that are different from the voice outside this construct.
Ties, slurs, ... cannot be used between two different voices.
This is a really annoying problem, especially for new users.
I'm currently trying to convince developers to change this behaviour.

I'd suggest using explicitly instantiating voices.
See "Temporary polyphonic passages" in NR 1.5.2 Multiple voices .

<d a'>2 ~ <cis a'> ~ << \stemDown <d a'> \new Voice { \stemUp d'4 cis } >>
Cheers,
