This is probably right, so would that qualify as a bug?

To Javier:
There is the \shape function to handle that for you
(http://lilypond.org/doc/v2.18/Documentation/notation/modifying-shapes).
You can pass this function one or more sets of control point offsets as
shown in the following example. Actually you wouldn't need to do it that
way, as when you give only one set of points they will only be applied
to the first sibling.
