\hideNotes  actually makes the notes, and beams and stems, transparent.
This means they still get space reserved, they just don't print.  
Sometimes people need exactly this, but here the extra (transparent) 
beams force your visible stems to lengthen to make room.

You can remove the beams and stems, etc., in this second voice entirely:

bracketsa = \relative c'' {
 \override NoteColumn #'ignore-collision = ##t
 \override NoteHead #'transparent = ##t
 \override Stem #'stencil = ##f
 \override Dots #'stencil = ##f
 \override Beam #'stencil = ##f
 \override Flag #'stencil = ##f
 \override Rest #'stencil = ##f

 s8 c16\startGroup d b\stopGroup  }
