The problem is that \displaceHeads uses 'before-line-breaking.
In case of beamed stems it tries to call the 'stencil before it is calculated.

Changing the property to 'after-line-breaking seems to solve this issue.

Drawback: The spacing of the NoteColumns is affected.
See the example with "my crazy NoteHead"
Will think about it.
